Hi...we live in Oshawa, Ontario and I have never seen this insect before. I have 2 of them on my son's playgym. I approached them fairly close to get a picture, and it didn't even budge one bit. Does anyone know what this is or have you seen one before?? It's about 1 inch in length, maybe a bit longer and light brown...almost translucent.
