I see.
Well if you're interested, the question was:
What is this small (2.5 mm) insect, tan/gray, dust/pollen-like camouflage?

And the answer is:
The nymph of the masked hunter bug,
Species Reduvius personatus - Masked Hunter - BugGuide.Net (http://bugguide.net/node/view/11385)

This is where I found the answer:
Entomology (Study of Bugs): mystery bug, assassin bug, mystery bug (http://en.allexperts.com/q/Entomology-Study-Bugs-665/2009/1/mystery-bug-72.htm)

I saw two of these in my house for the first time yesterday, while cleaning and moving furniture around. One in my bedroom, the other in my home office. I live in Toronto.

Emuzing, do you have a question? Were you trying to reply to someone else's question?

Sorry, I was trying to respond to Catsmine. You can put my answer under Entomology.

That is good information regarding the hunter bug, and particularly helpful is the suggestion to check for bedbugs. Which question were you trying to answer? Did you have any entomological questions of your own?

For yourself, that was an excellent answer. The original poster, however, has not been back since November. I feel reasonably certain he/she will not see it.
