I noticed a bug bite on my leg today. It’s surprising to me because I thought it was currently too cold for mosquitos to live. Where I live, we do frequently get mosquitos in the summer, but not typically when it’s this cold.

Also, the bite is in a unique spot. It’s right below my knee. they typically prefer my hands/arms or my ankles.

    Update: I woke up to a mosquito buzzing in my ear. I now believe there is a mosquito alive in my apartment and feeding off my body.

      I absolutely hate ticks. Fortunately the chances of it being a tick bite are very low. I will look for the ring none the less.

      All the tic bites I’ve seen in person have a sort of necrotic divot in the center, even if the tic tests negative for disease.

      This comment single handedly convinced me that this is a spider bite.

      I don’t live near ticks, like the other comment suggested. I live with many spiders in my home.
