Default red bugs

Hi, new here, but hope to become involved. So here's today's question.
I'm sure we are not the only people with this situation. In the last few
days our back yard, deck and one tree have been inundated with a whole lot
of little red bugs. they seem to have 6 legs, but could be 8. Size varies
from the head of a pin up to the size of a small ant. I've seen these things
a number of years ago coming into an apartment we had, but this is the first
time I've seen them since we bought this house (19 years). So can anyone
tell me from this info what I'm dealing with. I can get a jpeg and post on
a.b.p.g if necessary. we are in Indianapolis.

thanks

Joann
