A little bite

Why do insects sneakily bite me when I’m out walking in hot sunshine in a middle England town.

The bite when it happens is sharp like a needle.I reach my hand down after saying “ouch” and look to see what the cause was.No sign of anything,Not even a red mark.My leg looks perfectly normal.

I keep checking to see if anything has bitten me, but it’s the next day,that the swelling appears, it looks white with a tiny little bite mark on top and I know that in a few days it will turn red and start to itch.

What are these creatures and why are their bites so random and what benefit do they get out of them?I don’t think it’s a deep enough bite to suck blood but at the same time the bite causes pain and a delayed defence reaction from my body.Why do the little critters do it and why do I never see them do it.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.
