slender white insect
London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada

Size: 8-9 mm
Saw several of these in deciduous woods on ash, basswood, maple - just sitting on the leaves, not feeding. Three tiny dots between the eyes: ocelli?

Stonefly.
Some stoneflies actually do not get any darker than this, but it could also be a "teneral" (newly-emerged and not-yet fully pigmented adult) of some other type. Yes, those spots are probably the ocelli.
