Hey guys
Just one question. My terrace got "infected" with these little insects, hundrets of them. Is this a tick or something else ?
Looks like a tick to me but just want to be sure.

Definitely NOT a tick. May be a true bug nymph or something similar.

Agree not a tick. Those have 8 legs.

That's a huge relief, I still tought it has 8 legs and it is very small, the same as ticks. But it is nice to hear that it's something else, especially with all the diseases going around.
Thanks a lot for all the replies.

I just will post another picture now that I have better light, it has these white stripes/spots on its torso.

While I don't know what particular species of aphid is in your photos, it looks similar to the black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) -
