Hard to say: There are so many different types of insect bites, that it is difficult to say, especially without seeing it. The only one I would worry about is a tick bite, especially if it was present for a long time. It is sometimes associated with Lyme disease. But symptoms would not show up for several weeks. If you have no other symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.
