Hi there,
In April 2013, we were sitting under a bridge by the river, when we noticed these guys all over the wall. They were about 5 cm long and didn’t move much (we however found we moved very quickly).
Thanks!

This is the exuvia of a Stonefly, a flying insect that spends its immature development as an aquatic naiad. When maturity approaches, the naiad leaves the water and molts for the last time, emerging as a winged adult Stonefly. Here is an image of a similar looking Stonefly Exuvia from BugGuide.
