New signs of spring... sort of...

 Here is a close up of some sort of insect that was hanging around 'not moving' on the outside wall of the house.   I've never seen anything like this.  

I walked out the downstairs door this weekend and when I turned to lock the door behind me... I noticed this 'insect' on the wall area near the garage and the downstairs door.   There are tons of them.  I don't know what they are, do you?  I avoided eye contact.  I didn't want to to think that they were being 'welcomed' to stay ... even though it clearly looks like they are staying.   They are around the garage door and the outside wall of the house that is near the garage.


Any clues?  Suggestions?  Should I get the RAID and spray them?   At least they aren't trying to swarm me as I walk in/out of the door.   As a result of that good decision... I'm leaving them be for now-- but, if you know that this thing turns into a 6 inch insect creature... please let me know and I'll go buy some RAID and take care of the situation immediately.


Each new location has its own special insects, animals, weather, plants, and general vermin that one has to deal with. 


I know that one time in Seoul, Korea... I came home to find fuzzy caterpillars hanging on the front door (had a screen door), the window screens, and on every surface on the front of the apartment.   They would even drop out of trees and land on you.   The big problem... beyond the 'expected ick factor'... would that any place that the fuzzy hairs TOUCHED your skin turned red and burned.  They had some sort of 'bad poison' in the fuzzy hairs!   This went on for 2 weeks.
