I must be allergic. After 30 hours I have a 10cm by 7cm inflammation on my arm, despite hydrocortisone and antihistamine..

Hi @MichaelMulvaney, is there a reason you gave ID at genus level? With my limited resources I couldn't find another match. I put it to iNaturalist, forgetting that does automatic loading of images. Now my photo is https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/339242495 research grade on a worldwide mosquito project.
