    Hmm, I encountered this very same scenario in another online venue a year or two ago, Misty.

    I awoke this morning to discover that in spite of wearing pyjamas, some enterprising mosquito or mosquitoes had managed to find their way inside the bottoms overnight in order to give me two bites on one bum cheek, and one on the other, plus a further one on the back of my thigh about 6 inches down from the right cheek.

    Now I can't help wondering why they didn't just bite me on the hand, my face, or even my arm if the sleeve slid up a bit in my sleep, but for some reason they decided to bite me on the arse was more amusing, hence I have been scratching all day, and have four huge red bumps, three of which are on my bum cheeks, (I shall leave this horrific vision to your imaginations), suffice to say it isn't pleasant, and I reckon one of the fly / mosquito killing lights I wrote about recently on a hub of mine are now top of my Christmas list.

    Are you sure they were mosquitoes?Might have been "Love bites"from a very small man...

    Did you, glad it isn't just me then. I mean I went back and read mistywild's posts, (of which there weren't many at all on this thread), and I didn't see any resemblence in style of wording any more than with any other Hubber. I am sure it is only the name that might have caused this suggestion of us being one and the same. Personally I have enough trouble keeping up with just my one Hub account, more than that would be a nightmare. LOL

    Amen. In another online place,a friend of mine thought that a ladyfriend he was um, very close to, and was a mutual friend of ours, was involved with me, too(um, no) and he got all bent out of shape over it. He said that the two persons shared identicle mannerisms. There were several hundred people on this venue, mind you. Very disturbing.

    No. But, eventually he just let it go, or so I think, anyhoo.

    I hate mosquitoes.

    When I was serving my National Service as a soldier, there are some weird breed of mosquitoes that bite through our clothes!

    And where are the worst places? Places where you can't scratch at will!

    These pesky 'commando' mosquitoes bit me through the cloth, and through my underwear, right at my butt! I had a hard time scratching through the fabric of my uniform, and the itch never seemed to subside.

    Pesky mosquitoes. I hate them.

    They tend to go for the softest areas of skin which are easier to penetrate. It is unfortunate but true that these softer skind areas tend to be the worst places...

    I hate mosquitos!  They are bad here where I live. They seem to find you no matter what. Miss just the smallest part of you with spray and they attack it and bite you.
    Here is a link to a Mosquito Swat Game where you can at least feel a little revenge. lol

    Perhaps he finally believed her!

    it was probably a spider. ewwww. sorry, but its happend to me too.

    We don't have biting spiders here in Guernsey (thank goodness), so it can only be mozzies or a flea. Just in case it was the latter (as we do have cats), I have sprayed the whole house with a product called 'Staykill' that kills fleas, and sterlises their eggs for up to 12 months, and touch wood, haven't had any new bites since.
