kind of bug is this? I had the house sprayed last year for termites because a mound was spotted...I never did see any termites. We had a huge tree fall in our front yard about 3 weeks ago, which we had cleared out the following day. Were the bugs possibly eggs in that tree?? Why are they all dead and stuck to the light like that?? I have never seen anything like this before.

  1. it is no big deal the bugs are simply atracked to light.I have the same problem all you can do is clean it out.Or don't turn on the light.


  2. I can not even guess what bug they are without a description.  But the likely cause of the sticking is that very young insects are soft bodied and when attracted to the light they die and melt on contact.

  3. if they had wings they weren't babies.. maybe ants maybe one of the tiny species of parasitic wasps.  Would need a picture to give a good answer.

    the picture is too vague..try to get a picture of an individual so that the structure of the insect can be see...look up citronella ants and see if that is close
