We consider the singularly perturbed semilinear parabolic problem $u_t-d^2\Delta u+u=f(u)$ with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions on a smoothly bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$. Here $f$ is superlinear at $0$, and $\pm\infty$ and has subcritical growth. For small $d>0$ we construct a compact connected invariant set $X_d$ in the boundary of the domain of attraction of the asymptotically stable equilibrium $0$. The main features of $X_d$ are that it consists of positive functions that are pairwise non-comparable, and its topology is at least as rich as the topology of $\partial\Omega$ in a certain sense. If the number of equilibria in $X_d$ is finite, then this implies the existence of connecting orbits within $X_d$ that are not a consequence of a well known result by Matano.
