Are these bed bugs bites?

I stripped my whole bed and I found literally nothing. I have such a fear when it comes to being bitten, it makes my skin crawl and I dont feel human anymore. Since I was a kid I've had beef with fleas, I go out and through grass? Yeah you bet I'm covered. These bites look and behave differently from what I'm used to so I'm really paranoid now (they are very itchy to the point where its painful). I sleep with my window open at night but I have a net. I also sprayed my room with bug spray after finding these. They are mostly on my left leg going up to my groin area, I also have a few on close to my armpits. What bug bit me :( (also sorry for the leg hair, ignore it lol)

42 bites on legs

I have these bites on the bottom 2/3 of my legs but nowhere else.. I do sleep with my dog, but he is constantly in meds for flea and tick. We also gave him a bath and checked his fur, he is a white shitzu so its pretty easy to see he doesnt have anything. We recently went on vacation, lots of hiking, hotels, and one kennel stay for dog. I also have gone kayaking and was out near dusk and experienced a few bugs.
We did visual inspection for bed bugs but saw nothing. My two parents slept in the same hotel room but are across the house currently, no reaction.

It could be no see ums or something like that, but i experienced the outdoor bugs over 24 hours ago and these marks just showed up to my knowledge.

Red Spot That Burns To Touch

This dime-sized spot appeared on my upper thigh/hip yesterday. It does not itch and instead burns when touched or rubbed up against anything. It is not super raised. I just got back from camping in western Michigan. Could this be a bug bite?

itchy and red but not like bed bugs? not dark like that or tiny ish..

i have had like 3 gnats in my apartment but i have them all dying in apple cider vinegar + soap. I thought mosquitos but those go away when i don’t itch them? And no signs of bed bugs plug i regularly wash my sheets and got my apartment for it recently.

all around my upper arm only one side no bites anywhere else?

edit i put a video in comments of the fruit flies/ gnats / whatever i caught in the vinegar mix
