<p>I've just recently moved to Europe (southern Germany), so this might be a common sight to someone who has been living here for longer.</p> <p>Yesterday I noticed dozens of these insects walking on the sidewalk and grass. Then I looked at the trunk of some trees and, lo and behold, saw HUNDREDS of them, just chilling there.</p> <p>Apparently they don't bite, don't fly, don't do anything except cuddle up to each other.</p> <p>I first saw them early in the morning (around 9am), but again late in the evening (11pm).</p> <p>So, what are those? Is it common to have so many of these or should I be worried?</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/27aCv.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/27aCv.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a> <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/B5NWO.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/B5NWO.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
