Help me identify these bug bites! **UPDATED with a pic**

Update:

At least..i think they are bug bites...
I had a few campfires in the middle of a marsh in southern Ontario, like, 4 days ago. I was sitting in the wet grass the whole time... and the big wool sweater I wore..i continued to wear the next day or two on and off...
A few days ago i noticed i had like 8 red itchy bumps on my chest and stomach, they are still quite itchy, but don't seem to getting too much worse. They look a lot like a small pimple without the white dot in the middle.
I know they are not mosquito bites, because they happened under two layers of clothing, and I don't react to mosquito bites.
I checked my bed for bed bugs...didn't find anything, or signs of them. And I haven't been anywhere that might have them...
My dogs and opposum seem to be flea free as well...
My one thought is that it might be chiggers, or harvest mites. They seem to be common in spring/early summer, in wet grassy areas...
Has anyone had any experience they would like to share? I'm paranoid that i have like..scabies..or bed bugs..and want to sleep easy tonight, haha.

Chiggers suck. I get strong reactions to them, so they itch terribly for me. I usually don't even realize I'm doing it till it's becoming sore and raw.

I had this type of thing happen all over my leg a few days ago.
Although I haven't been sitting in wet grass, I suspect that it is due to my dermatographism. 
OP, take a pen cap that is slightly pointy and draw a line down your arm. Does your skin react by forming a raised red line? Also, have you ever developed hives without a stimuli?

Looks like chigger bites to me.
That opposum looks badass under the black light. Do they make good domesticated house pets? I'd imagine otherwise from experience.

I would also guess chigger bites. Those fuckers are itchy as hell and they don't go away for a long time.

Pretty sure that's a first stage Brown Recluse bite.

Wiki, and other internet sources, say they are definitely in Ontario..
Also, i seem to have gotten more bites, or at least..i have noticed a couple more, since posting this.

Well, this species only grows to be about the size of a rat, maybe a bit smaller. They make GREAT pets from my experience. They self potty train, they don't smell at all, they don't make any noises, they eat pretty much anything...
I hear they can have varying personalities, so it's best to get them when they are young.
Whenever i open his cage, he comes out of his nest and says hello, climbs on me, and then i just let him run around my room. They are extremely fast, and can climb pretty much anything fabricy. I've read that they can even climb glass, due to pads on their feet much like a gecko, but... I've never witnessed this...
When he is done running around, he'll just go back to his nest on his own. So i never really have to worry about losing him. i've left his cage open for days, and he is always just hangin' in his nest...
he is also the best cricket hunter i have ever seen... his senses are fuckin' honed to hunt in complete darkness...
they also have claws, as well as toe nails, and thumbs. they are marsupials...
oh, and the fur is soooo soft

change your clothes and especially your socks if you haven't yet also may want to change and wash any other fabric you have come into contact with since getting outside. Those little fuckers like to hang out for up to a week on cloth then find nice soft embarrassing places to bite in. Good to know it's not just a Kentucky thang.
