I have seen these really small hopping bugs mostly around the sink in the last month or so. Then today I saw a bunch of what appears to be the adult versions of them caught between the flyscreen and door, so I took some pictures.
The size of the adult ones is about 1/8" / 4mm

Thank you Andrew and Arial. That looks very close. So why would that bug be in my house?
I am in Australia btw.

I got your back. I love IDing bugs... Gimme a couple minutes and I should have a name...
UPDATE: Okay... I have one possible ID... That's a tough one to ID with the lack of light/detail... see what you think about this little guy:

I think the previous poster-sorry I forgot his name!!-is onto something. Based off the characteristics I would say it is some sort of Hemipteran. I can only only give you the order, sorry. This is a hard insect to identify!!

I am unable to identify your bug. It may not occur in the US, and all my books concern US species. Try whatsthatbug.com. They are pretty good and do Australia
