Could have been a thrip, mind you.

(Gen. Thysanoptera)

Little black buggers, typically sub-1mm (a.k.a. thunderflies) - you don't notice them until it's Too Late, but the bloodsucking ones can cause some really quite impressive red marks a good inch across.

If the original impact was actually discernable, it was probably a wasp, bee or hornet. I can't comment on the symptoms of a wasp sting as I've never actually been stung by one.

(30 years! screw you, genus Vespa! You'll never take me alive!)

I'm 39 and haven't been stung by a bee or wasp *touchwood* - I don't even know if I'm allergic.
