Hard to say.: What bug is feasting on you is hard to say most of the time. Very few bug bites are unique to a particular insect. It depends on where you got them, and the season of the year, as well as the time of day, often. Some bugs are more common in some countries or states than others. Others are more likely in forests or beaches or deserts. Others can be associated with pets, like fleas.

Nee A Microscope??: Sounds like it might be the South African Yellow Hugumatuba Dipping Darter Mite.But then it could also be the Red-Bellied Detrusor Stinging Sage Darter Ant. Depends on where you live,where you were exposed, part of body bitten, time of day bitten, any associated symptoms,what the surrounding skin looks like and whether you've rolled around in stinging nettles lately.In other words:more info needed
