Insect Bites (Definition) Insect bites are from mosquitos, spiders, flies, ticks, and other species that use their mandibles (jaws) to attach to a person or other animal. They can then suck blood out of their prey and leave saliva proteins that cause itching and swelling.
24 hours after the bite, a new type of lesion arises, and skin in the area begins itching. The most common delayed reaction is a solid elevation of skin, known as papule. Papules are extremely itchy, especially at night.
