They are tiny. Flea size or smaller. They do not jump or fly. They are easily squished. We are finding them around the doors and windows. I spray the yard regularly and we have never had these before.

The bodies are like a grain of rice but far smaller with two long antennas.

Looks like the fairly common brownish big-pixel bug. They are known to congregate in areas where precise focus is not present.

Blurrus Ovalshapus.

I tried to take a pic about 50 times. They are so small the iPhone won’t focus on them very well.

To be somewhat more helpful (couldn't help myself above), you'll need a better picture to get an ID. Macro-mode might help. Needs to be in focus, though.

Get one to set still, one way or another, get the focus tight and the shutter speed high enough that camera shake won't blur things. Might have to killify one, gently (insecticide) if it's fast-motion that is keeping things blurry.

That is a chigger. Keep it away from any orifices below your waist.

Sorry, I'm not a camera person.

Sometimes you just need a microscope!

Pan back until it becomes clear, take a pic, then try enlarging the image and take a screen shot. That’s how I usually defeat blurrimus maximus.

Not a chigger. Chiggers are reddish, and arent insects.

 
The ubiquitous tiny "black bug". We get them here in AZ mid summer. They invade around door weatherstrip and thresholds, and of course if you leave the door open. Millions of them, it seems sometimes. They last about a month. The invasion persists even though the monthly exterminator visit sprays liberally around the doors and windows. His spray kill scorpions and other invaders, but the black bugs persist, just on numbers alone.
 

Could it be a Springtail? If so, they are totally harmless, just an annoyance.

Can't tell much from the picture but the description sounds like pecker gnats.

Not sure about the springtail. They are smooth like micro lightning bugs but don't fly.

Stink bugs. We get them in the summer. If you crush them, you will see why they are called such!

Our stink bugs are far larger and shield shaped.

What part of your body has been infested??

I was kidding. But I didn't know they aren't insects ! I thought all bugs were "insects", whatever that definition is. Interesting.

You sure they don’t jump at all? They look exactly like springtails to me.

Nope. Just crawl fast. If they jumped I’d say fleas.

Reason I ask is because springtails jump as well. Several centimeters at a time. Very much like fleas but fleas don’t have the antennae like springtails do.
