Biting Bug(ger)s

Does anyone know which insect can bite you through your clothes, but doesn't let you know it's done it till later, giving it time to clear off. Then you get a really itchy lump that lasts for weeks. I've even been bitten down my wellies! At least midges give you a chance to squash the blighters.

Could be berry bugs - if it was in around blackberry or raspberry that's possibly it. It looks like a small beetle.
