Hey there. I'm stumped as to what kind of bugs these are. They look to be winged?
They're tiny, but dozens of them are crawling on the front of our house (I haven't checked the rest of the house) on the siding, front door, window sills, etc. They don't jump, it seems, but I think they can fly? Not too sure. When smooshed they leave an ash-like smear.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Are you absolutely sure these can fly? I cannot see any wings on the image you posted, and its shape looks very much like a slender springtail in the family Entomobryidae -

They basically are nuisance pests, primarily scavengers on bits of decomposing organic matter...
