Painless bug bites that draws blood, Very strange.

Yes I am also inMN and my girls are getting bad bites on the scalp. No pain but lots of blood. People keep telling me gnats but this is the first time EVER that any of my kids have been bitten like this. We have a sandbox but it's also happening at daycare where they have pebbles in their play area. This is concerning me too as I can't figure out what this is and the bites seem much too big for a gnat.

I was bitten by bedbug during sleep. I feel i should go for pest control at home...

All ladybirds can bite, but a type called the harlequin ladybird found throughout much of the UK is more aggressive and tends to bite more often.
The harlequin ladybird can be red or orange with multiple spots. Look out for a white spot on its head – other ladybirds don't have these patches.
Ladybird bites can be painful, but aren't usually anything to worry about.
