Hi i got bitten 8 weeks ago in a forest i didn't feel any pain but a lot of blood made me notice the bite it's purple now and still itchy what bit me?

By your description: I haven't the slightest idea what, if anything bit you. It could have been an injury un-noticed at the time. Consult your doctor about this as 8 weeks seems a long time for bruising to still be around. It could possibly represent something else especially if you don't recall seeing anything bite you.
