What kind of bug bit me?

I was working on the farm when I felt a painful bite on the backside of my knee inside my pants. I reached down to feel for it, but found nothing. The bite itches really bad and has been looking worse over the past 2 days. Just this morning, I pulled a long white hair out of it with some stuff attached to it. The hole where the bite was is bigger than a mosquito bite or a tick. And the 1 inch area around it has turned purple.

Any idea what bit me?

    maybe it was some sort of a spider-but if it's turning purple it sounds bruised too-the white hair you pulled out might have been some sort of puss or something too-keep an eye on it & be sure to clean it daily & if it gets any worse you should probably go to the doctor to get it checked out. if you have peroxide i'd put that on it to try to clean the cut out-otherwise be sure to use soap & water.
