I hate that they call it "insect bites" when several of those are stings, not bites (bee, wasp, scorpion, some ants).

Also spiders, ticks and scorpions aren't insects either!

Can I get a vibe check on "Bug Wound"? "Bug wound" feels a bit more inclusive.

I think the last non-mosquito bug wound I got was from a cicada i was moving out of my kitchen. it tried drinking my blood?? like sap?? it hurt but it was cute. it didn't wanna leave after, either.

Ah, but if we're splitting hairs then we must consider that none of the wee beasties in the image are true bugs.
