Well Talulah40 correctly identified these,the best way to deal with them is to let the birds loose.
Cover the ground with black plastic when you remove it in the morning they should waiting to allow the birds to dine on them.
It is a great way to encorage birds to the garden,they will keep the problem in check.
Just a word of caution if you use an insectiside it can affect the birds.
Birds actually do alot more damage control,than they are given credit for.
