Thank you Joseph CHIEF REDEARTH for the ID:)
Thank you Ornithoptera80 and Gary17 for ID suggestions:)
I am sure that they are a nymph of some cricket species,nice spotting
SukanyaDatta, they do look very similar except for the color.
Raksha, many true bug nymphs live in colonies for several molt cycles so maybe they are Hemiptera. Also, earlier today while I was trying to figure out a bug I'd found I came across a group in the Hemiptera that look similar to ants (which yours remind me of). These were north American species but I don't doubt that there are ones like them in India. Of course, I might be a way of but its probably worth a look.
I have a somewhat similar spotting...unfortunately no ID as yet. https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1472306274
Gary17 am not sure what they are, it looked like they were feeding on the wood and they moved as a colony.
Strange looking! Could they be nymphs of some insect?
