Saw these clustered on the outside of one of our rear windows and this was about the best picture I could get with my phone. They're pretty small, maybe a centimeter long or less. They have 6 legs and 2 long antennas. They don't really look like ants or spiders to me, but I don't know.
Should I kill them with fire and/or bug spray? Just leave them be? Are they going to mature overnight and then come for my family?

Maybe @BugBoy can help?
They are likely assassin/wheel bugs of some kind?
That's gotta be what they are....
Wait, assassin bugs? Welp house, it's been a fun 2 years but I'm out.
They assassinate other bugs. You're fine.
Unless you're some kind of space insect. Which you're not, of course.

Any idea why they were all clustered together like that? They stayed close for a while, after I went to bed. They didn't seem to be in any hurry. I didn't check before I left the house this morning, so I don't know if they're still there. I thought it was kind of odd.
There's a species that bites humans though. Leads to Chagas disease. You probably don't have ones that would spread it, but, don't let them bite you.
hard to tell from picture but they are definitely some sort of true bug immature stage, and it could go a lot of different ways.
Those bugs are 100% not either of the species that commonly vector chagas disease
NOTED
Bugs are awesome.
Maybe it would be easier if you used your phone with your finger? :P
That's great to know about the disease because that was my fear. They looked exactly like pictures I've seen of other assassin bug nymphs. They're gone from the window so they're probably happily assassinating bugs in my backyard. As long as they don't get in the house, they're welcome to it.
related help and/or advice: you should use your fingers to enter in mobile posts. doing it with your nut is hard :pop:
edit: more related help and/or advice - @fightinfilipino you should really learn to read the last post in a thread before posting.
