Looks like your Windows 11 update is almost complete. Or it could be fleas, bed bugs, or lice. I'm not a bugologist.

bed bugs tend to bite like that where it's all grouped up together and I think sometimes in a line.

Idk, but one more and the circle closes, the ritual is complete.
So many bites next to each other could be a bed bug. My understanding is that they'll leave little black dots around the bites as well. Did you see any before? Otherwise, any of mosquitoes, or fleas.
Bed bugs are usually in a straight line (they follow your veins). Could this be something other than an insect bite?
I had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven't noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.
As I understand it you don’t move away from bed bugs. They come with you.
It depends where they are, how well you cleaned, and what you got rid of, probably some luck too. In my case bites were not frequent at all. There are methods to kill them without chemicals by subjecting them to certain temperatures as well.
You can also just sprinkle diatomaceous earth around. That shit kills ‘em dead by piercing their exoskeleton and dehydrating them.
Yeah that'll work slowly and is better for making perimeters or when the infestation is mild. Once it's settled in you need heat treatment and everything that can't be heated needs frozen for two weeks or rinsed in alcohol. If you act sane about this they'll come back until you stop.

Real talk, check your shit for bed bugs. THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF NOT DEALT WITH.
I am sorry but you have MIDI
Thank goodness, there are 2⁷ ways to cure that.
Bed bugs. The internet will tell you they only bite in a straight line, but that's horse shit. Look up bed bug bites and you'll see clusters like this, too.
whatever it was, it was going for the hexagon, which are the bestagones
Don't worry, they aren't bites. Just spider eggs.
Just chiming in to agree that you're gonna need to burn your house down

Bed bugs for sure. Took 2 years to get rid of the bastards as they ate us alive.
The PlayStation 2 menu spinning orbs
This brought back Bedbug based paranoia I thought I had laid to rest nearly a decade ago so thanks for that.
I hope you have a speedy and painless solution to our problem, but I'm really glad I'm not you OP. My god, if I never see these bastards again it will be too soon.
fun fact if you have bats in your area, they also carry bat bugs, which are relative to bed bugs and they can also infest your house too. there is a theory that bed bugs evolved from bat bugs, also they look alike.
This is the opposite of a fun fact. I'm going to sneak into your house and steal your fingers for typing it

I think windows 10 bit you, and the actual bite is loading
Bedbugs as someone else said. If this was at home clean the fuck out your house. Like, deep clean. Twice. Check the seams on your mattress and pillows. If you have a clothes dryer throw in everything that is safe to put in a dryer. Leave it in there for at least an hour. You can't imagine the psychological terror of having a potential infestation. You need to fight back hard.
Bedbugs. If you can, get your house above 120° F and keep it there for at least two hours. If not, CONSTANT VIGILANCE, and constant deep cleaning of everything is the only way I have seen them beaten without poisons.
Warning: this will destroy medication if it's left out. You may want to move your pills to the refrigerator first (after first checking the temperature - see article).
Actually, if you live in a hot climate and don't use A/C, you should probably do that anyway.

Mosquito
My vote is bed bug. I’ve had a few encounters while traveling. It’s happened to me in a C shape before, once. Although not as tight of a C shape as yours.
Are you sure this is bug bites and not a rash or infection, like ringworm for example?

Sorry. It was me.
Need banana for scale.
Smallest UFO landing ever.
I touched poision ivy once and it looked like this. If it doesn't go away like a normal mosquito bite, might need to get it checked out so you can get the prescription cream.

Found hundreds of these on my entire body once. Never happened again, never found out what it was
Pray you don't get bit again before it finishes loading
Probably 5pin GX16. Might be fatal.
I can't really tell scale there but several bites in a row like that might indicate bed bugs, check the corner of your mattress, and any clothes near where you sleep
