Mysteriously appearing mosquito bites, even if there seems to be no mosquitoes around.

That's in Taiwan. They have fruit fly looking mfs, which make no sound and are almost invisible, however their bites are as painful as mosquitos. Pain kicks in after some time, so you can almost never tell.

These insects are called Forcipomyia taiwana.

Oh it's the same in Taiwan!
