I've had this tiny creatures clinging to a moldy portion of the ceiling for a few weeks now.
-Measurements: 1-2 mm in length.
~1mm in width.
-Characteristics: Six legged with a wide abdomen (as compared to their head); flightless with slow movement.
-Behavior: They gather in tiny clusters (with a few of them being secluded from said clusters).
Also noticed that they were many black/dark brown dots surrounding the clusters (eggs?).
Questions:
(1) what type of insects am I dealing with?, (2) what could've caused the infestation?, (3) are these in any way harmful?, and if so (4) how to get rid of them?
Thank you in advance.
