Anopheles

As I've gotten older, mosquitoes have liked me less and less. Or perhaps being the fat kid that I am, I've spent less time outdoors. In any case, mosquitoes this year have taken a particular liking to my hands. I'm usually pretty cool about not scratching bites, but when they're on your hands they're way more susceptible to incidental contact which gets them all fired up. The worst bite I had this year was on one of my palms which was a nightmare because not only did it itch, it drove the densely networked nerves in my hand crazy.
