One for the Bug Experts

I just wandered outside for the first time since around 8am this morning to grab the mail, and on the way back inside, noticed that our front step and the wall at the front of the house are covered with these little, well, buggers. They're teeny-tiny, less than 1/4" long, and both shiny and translucent. Kind of pretty, but there's quite a nightmare-inducing quality to them too, especially when you see them in big numbers. Eew. Anyone have any idea what they are?

Did I saw eew?
