Please help ID this bug bite

[cantdrv55]

I got munched on by an insect, species unknown. Here’s a shot of one of four bites on my torso. No judging my girth. It’s a bite on my left side love handle. I have a matching bite on the other side. Can you tell what kind of bug bit me?

[wdfifteen]

They say spider bites have two entry points. Other than that I've got nothin'

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I would say Japanese spider crab did that. Have you been swimming recently?

[wdfifteen]

I'll second crabs. Yes, you definitely have a crab problem.

[cantdrv55]

No swimming, no crabs

You're a good man, cantdrv55. We will speak of you kindly.

Any possiblity it is poison ivy?

I did walk in the woods yesterday morning but the bites showed up last night.

Yeah, I always liked his posts. Seems like getting it in the love handles is always the worst. Pity.

it is a small infection, which is creating the pus (dead white blood cells and plasma)

like a spider

real question is: are there any red lines leading away from it?


really real question is: any joint pain?

[tdw28210]

blister beetle?

[MBAtarga]

Does it sting when you pee?

[A930Rocket]

Black Mamba?

[GH85Carrera]

Likely the fiddle-black widow hybrid fiddle back and black widow.

No red lines or joint pain. It’s just itchy.

[Jandrews]

Chigger.

Itch like crazy.

[cantdrv55]

That’s possible due to location of the bites.
