I'm not sure what bit you but I get a reaction like that once in a while. I have sensitive skin. I am pretty sure it was those biting black flies. There are different kinds aren't there? I think what happens is you didn't feel it biting you so it got a lot of it's stuff to make you not feel it in there and your having a reaction.. If it doesn't go away by a couple days I'd have a doctor look at it just in case!

I know what you guys are talking about that eat Hibiscus so they look like lace.. it's sawflies larvae. If you flip the leave over you'll see them, they look like tiny green caterpillars and lots of people mistake them for cats and don't use effective pesticides on them cuz of it.

Now what the heck are these? They are on my Japanese Iris foliage, well were til I squirted neem on them.
