Here are some better photos than the previous I sent. Found in Feb on warmer day.  I  wondered if it was leaf legged bug? As long as not harmful to health for folks with weakened immune system we’ll manage, in the meantime we are trying to sort out where our infestation of ladybugs  and these are coming from (same room).  They would go towards the light and showed up during the summer/fall months. Thanks for any input!  Niki.  Listowel ON
This is a western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis; Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Coreidae); it is a nuisance pest, especially when it gets indoors, but is harmless otherwise. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
