Ladybird!!
I'm not hurt. Just disappointed

Oh no. Not a Robin too.

😂

Personally I would rather be bitten by a ladybird than a spider. My brother was just as surprised as you when one bit him. They don't get near enough to bite me despite them running at me with their hairy eight legs.

I was bitten by a Blandford fly yesterday...and now my right forearm looks like Popeye's!!! Tiny little bastards they are, and mean...

Yeah. Sympathies, but tbh you got what we'd expect from one of them.

Oh did you smell it?

I had no idea ladybirds smell so strongly until recently. Their piss literally smells of freshly mowed grass.

I ha w heard tell of smell and biting lady is but can’t smell them and have never been bitten myself!

Send it to Rwanda

Log it with 101.

Thoughts and prayers OP, but I'm really enjoying this thread.

Thank you but my trauma is real

Sympathy, OP.

I got headbutted by a dragonfly once. I was running at the time, so the dragonfly would probably deny responsibility, but who has more agility at speed? Clue: not me.

What happens if you tried to sniff it and it ended up inside your nose like a clumpy piece of coke? 😱

I bet the little bugger would bite lots then.

I was bitten in 76 too! I think sometimes there is a glut of them and they run out of aphids to eat? Anyway my bite got infected , hand swelled up twice its normal size. Very strange !

I got bitten by a yellow one and had a major reaction - head to toe itching,
not want you want on your first outing with your newborn. Not sensitive to anything but this was horrid.

I've just got a tiny red mark, a mild itch and hurty feelings.

Oh my god don't you feel bad? You know they only live for 24hrs right?

Cut down in his prime.

In 1996 I think I was in Weston Super Mare on holiday and there was the tail end of a hurricane from America, it brought over millions of ladybirds, there was a 2m black slick of dead ones at high tide mark on the beach.

the little toe rags went for anything white and we had to walk around covering our mouths, it was disgusting, I never saw them in the same light again when we realised they bit too. Every night we had to scour the accommodation and get rid of those that had managed to get in. it was awful.

Oh my! 1996 attack of the ladybirds.

I hear the Jaws theme tune in my head now

I was once bitten by a wasp. It landed on my finger and started to nibble it.

Got bitten by a mole as a child, I guess small fingers and juicy worms look similar if your eyesight isn't brilliant !

For those of us old enough to remember the summer of 1976 yes the little f&^%$rs do bite - there were clouds of them flying around because it was so dry and everything was dying so they were proper hangry. One nibble is a joke but being ambushed by a cloud of nippy ladybirds is less fun than it sounds, I can tell you.

Robins are aggressive territorial little bastards. Don't be fooled by the cuteness.

Could it be that you have the appearance of an aphid?

If so, please post a photo.

No way, that's mayflies you're thinking about, surely?
