Tachinid Fly
Maybe Euhalidaya genalis - a widespread species of Tachinid Fly that parasitizes Walkingsticks.

Manual of Nearctic Diptera, 1987, Vol. 2, pg. 1198:
"The walkingstick, Diapheromera femorata (Say), is also parasitized by Euhalidaya genalis (Coquillett); females of this species run about over the dorsum of the walkingstick, depositing fully embryonated eggs at random on its cuticle."
