Can anyone please identify this bug as it bit me on the top of my foot. It left a stinging sensation and itchiness. Any help would be much appreciated Thank You
Phil
Phil your biggest problem is infection.
Once, I had an inch-ant (with a attitude problem) in my gardening booth.
White man can jump I can tell you, given enough incentive!
However the itchiness and pain subsided a couple of days later and I forgot about it.
A week later my foot blow up like a balloon! The GP told me it's an infection, havy antibiotics for 2 weeks. He scared me, saying I can loose me foot if the infection get in the bone!
Just monitor the situation and if any redness around the bite after a day or two, see a GP!
Good luck,
Mick.
ps: it's look like KRudd to me, after the nightclub!
"Some lacewing larvae cover themselves with a defensive "trash package" of debris that makes them unappealing to predators. Often the materials are the remains of the aphids, scale insects, thripses, or other tiny soft-bodied insects that the lacewing larvae prey on."
"This is a larva of a green lacewing Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). They are general predators on other soft-bodied arthropods, and thus usually considered beneficial. Like many biting insects, they occasionally will 'sample' a human for no apparent reason, but their bite is harmless."
