Can anyone help identify this insect that SWARMED my front door yesterday evening, and then through the tiny space around the door into the house? They crawl FAST; do not fly. Some are tinier than 1mm, others as large as 3mm. I can crush them. I did some weeding yesterday & wonder if I pulled up some nest of whatever this is.
I used bug spray around the exterior of the door last night, vacuumed those indoors, and they don’t seem to have flooded back. I’m still finding a few here & there in the house.
Any ideas?

Shame on anyone who still uses “bug spray” loaded with pesticides. Yeah. And if you don’t know what a certain insect is, whether it’s beneficial or not—–just crush it. Tsk.
Take a sample to Ag Commisioners office. Indiscriminate use of pesticides is just wrong and unnecessary when there are Safer alternatives. Soapy water probably would have done the trick.
thank you. I’m a good person, considerate of the environment, doing the best that I can to manage living with the environment and responsibility for those (humans) living within my home.
