My porch has been invaded with thousands of these little green bugs. Can anyone help ID them and or maybe help me get rid of them? I think they are biting my kids.

Can't see enough detail on the little critters for a positive i.d., but they don't look like anything that would bite humans. I do see at least one lady beetle larva that might be eating them...

They are really tiny. But there are thousands of them everywhere. I'll try get a better pic.

These look more like aphids (plant lice) than anything else that I can think of at present, in which case you really should thank the lady beetles for showing up! And again, these would not be responsible for any bites...

Okay, well I'm going to keep an eye on them anyway, as if I could stop seeing them even if I wanted to, they are everywhere. Good to know that they shouldn't bite though.
