Don't get me wrong, I hate mosquitoes and don't like being stung (both because of dengue fever risks in the case of aedes, and because it itches a lot afterwards), but I never find their bite painful. I suppose it depends on the kind of mosquito? I do know -- cause I've been bitten -- that horseflies hurt like hell, because their mouth parts have evolved to pierce cattle skin! "Yellowjacket" is the translation I found for a kind of wasp we have in Argentina's Patagonia, where we call them "chaquetas" (Spanish for jackets). I think they might be imports and not native though, but now they are very frequent in our region.
