What Insect Caused These Bites?

In message , TheScullster writesHi all As the subject, I have numerous bites to ankles and lower legs. Start off itchy and irritating, but when you scratch the itch it turns into a larger red lump thats more itchy and sore and bleeds! Haven't spent much time in the garden so the blighters may not actually originate from there. Don't have pets and haven't consorted with any likely suspects recently. Anyone any ideas. Location is West Hull east yorkshire. Sounds like mosquitos. Do you have any standing water in the garden? That is where they lay their eggs, which hatch out into nymphs and the hey presto, lots of mozzies. -- June Hughes I have had mosquito bites on legs and ankles from living near Cambridge but only in July/August. February is way too cold thankfully. There is one species (with striped legs; I kid ye not) that makes very itchy bites that blister but not bleed. Des |
