Hi

Please can someone help. We have this bug in its hundreds down the side concrete path of our house. They range from 1-3mm. 6 legs, 2 antennas.

Any ideas welcome, I want them gone :-)

Thanks

Thanks Chrissy but I've looked and don't think it's a cricket. Looks more flat, like a stink bug or something along those lines

I think it is a stink bug in the family Pentatomidae, but it is a juvenile stage, which makes identifying it pretty difficult. When bugs appear in numbers, there are usually several different stages present. Try and find an adult, the winged stage. A photo of an andult might lead to an identity,
