3,000 species
There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes, but the members of three bear primary responsibility for the spread of human diseases. Anopheles mosquitoes are the only species known to carry malaria. They also transmit filariasis (also called elephantiasis) and encephalitis.

A gnat. I get worse bites from your garden variety gnat, than I do with a mosquito.

Those are chiggers and they live under your skin. Put clear nail polish on them to kill the bugs!


+1. Especially if the bites are along the bra line or pants line. I've never heard of the nail polish solution, though!

Bed bug bites come in threes, don't they?

Well they aren't spreading. And I live in Northern VA. But the thought did cross my mind

My husband had a huge welt on his wrist about 10 days ago. We have no idea what got him. It certainly didn't look like his normal mosquito reaction. The only similarity to a mosquito bite was that his skin was still "flesh"colored, not a bright red.

I googled various things but didn't come up with anything.

Why do you think it isn't a mosquito?
