Just learned these bite. Been home from walking my dogs for about two hours, working int he study when I thought I felt something crawling on my back. Couldn't find anything. bout 10 minutes later felt a sharp bite and found this guy. Must have been caught up in my hair and probably came from Hawker. Boy it hurt.
