How about a fly?  Inside a weather-sealed lens.    Bob F, maybe this is what buggered the AF on your lens.....?

Holy cow!

Canon didn't mention anything about finding livestock in my lens, but anything is possible!

I once discovered a mustache hair on the inside of one of my lenses.  I could never figure out how it got there, but it made a trip to canon for removal.

I would bet the fly made it's way in there while changing lenses...that moment when you remove the lens and watch it go to the bag or table and the body is left open.
