Dave says: It looks like a Coreidae, likely _Leptoglossus occidentalis_, Western Conifer Seed Bug. It's natural range is the west, from southern BC to California. In the past few decades its range has expanded, to Michigan, Ontario, NB in the late 1990s and NS a couple of years later (O'Shea et al. 2005 in Canadian Tree Improvement Association bulletin) ( www.for.gov.bc.ca/hti/publications/tswg/TSWGNewsbulletin41.pdf). They are known to overwinter in houses.
