Weird bites?

Every so often I wake up with what looks and feels like mosquito bites I’ve compared what I have to photos of other common bug bites and they always just look like mosquito bites. It’s only happened possible twice in the past 2 weeks the first time I was out all night so I figured they were just from mosquitoes but this morning they just suddenly appeared. Could it be a mosquito or something else?

Certainly could be mosquito bites, although other insects (i.e., fleas) can cause a similar rash.
