Please help ID this bug bite
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?

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

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? Last edited by RWebb; 08-11-2020 at 04:52 PM.. |

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

That’s possible due to location of the bites.
