Hi,
When I pickup a wooden piece off the groud, I noticed tiny bright red bugs, about the size of pencil dot. It was clearly visible on the darkened wood. They left a red dye mark when squashed. Also I saw some of them on the cement blocks that used as an edger around a pine tree. I had a bite at my forearm, it was itchy firsh but I applied Cortizone-10 cream and no problem after, could it be from a mosquito also not sure. Could this be Chigger? Iam in Northeast CT (zone 6) and not sure Chigger is a problem in this area?
Appreciate any help.
TIA
Sam.
