Answer 4

I'm sorry but you haven't provided enough information for even an expert to identify your mystery insect.

All insects have six legs

All insects have antennae

Many insects are 6-8 millimeters long

Many insects have translucent wings

Your best bet would be to either take a photo of one and upload it to the www so you can show us a picture, or phone an exterminator and ask for a free home inspection. I hope you don't have termites but -- well -- let's just say it's something to consider.

Answer 5

You just identified thousands of species of insects lol...  Could you link to a picture, say if you find something similar online?
