Default insect ID if possible please

I am getting these jumping/flying insects (not those little spiders) in my sinks. They sit like flogs with antennas. About an inch in length. Don't don't seem to be eating anything around the place. Just wondering what they could be called. Halfway between a large ant and a spider to look at. Greyish in colour. Like black hair before it turn to grey.

Realise it is hard when you don't have a pic, Just curious. Don't know what to try as keywords in Google.

Thanks
Katherine

(like cockroaches) :-)

Don't think it's a mutant frog :-)

A flimsy body - tried washing it (sometimes 2-3), but they just wont go
down, or if they do, they are back up in no time.

Even tried CSIRO website - no luck there either. If they sense you are going
to touch them they move/jump very quickly.

Have they got six legs so we can confirm they are insects ?
