Roaming around Toronto on my bike

I find myself using my LG P500h phone camera more these days than before.  It would seem to be available all the time as I need to carry it with me on my belt wherever I go.  It would also seem to be heck more convenient than carrying a large DSLR.  Many of the times, it would be fine.  I may not need to zoom in or may not need to deal with high contrast lighting conditions.

This afternoon, I went to cash in my lottery ticket--a whopping $125!  I decided afterwards to go find the graffiti alley.  It's somewhere in Toronto but I do not know where it is yet, and don't want to look it up and don't want anyone to tell me where it is.  One day, I will run into it and that's how it will keep my biking more interesting these days.  Anyway, I went biking around searching for the graffity alley so I started covering some new territories of downtown Toronto.  I knew the alley is not where I went but I decided to hit a street I have never been to--Mercer Street on the north side of Gretsky's and The Second City.  There, I found behind a building this refuse storage, overflowing with bags of garbage, the doors bashed open.  Yuck!  I cannot imagine how it will be like in the summer heat of Toronto.  That will be disgusting.

Invasion of What?

What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
