Not good things to see on your road trip! (Everything was fine with both the engine and gas, though.)
Onychophagia or nail biting is a common oral compulsive habit. Many people use nail biting as a means to reduce stress. Yet it means also the excited feeling or anxious for not knowing what will be happening. [Sogang Sky View, Sinchon]
I found this insect evidently sucking blood from my leg. It looks like a weevil. I could find nothing about biting weevils. Anyone know this one?
Tetragona species, Biting Stingless Bee, specimen collected by German Perilla in Peru
Stingless bees are just that, they cannot sting, their sting mechanism was reduced to non-functionality many tens of millions of years ago. Tropical… this large group of social, stingless species and genera, of which the Biting Stingless Bees are only one,, exist around the equator and inhabit all the tropical countries of the world, with the exception of some of the oceanic islands. Associated, but not restricted to, forests they often dominate the local bee community. Similar to Honey Bees, these bees are social with queens and workers, though behavioral and morphological differences between these two social, honey producing groups are numerous and extensive. While Honey Bees are better known, the stingless bees have evolved into many more species, including the only group of bees that are meat eaters, feeding on carrion rather than nectar and also the only group that gets its protein from antibacterial enzymes in vertebrate tears.
The Biting Stingless Bees are so named after their habitat of flying into the face of an intruding animal (humans included) and aggressively biting eyelids, inside the nose, on the lips or in the ears. They hang on while vibrating their wings and are extremely irritating. They produce moderate amounts of honey that is runnier and somewhat tarter in flavor than Honey Bee honey – but it is quite tasty and much sought after, if you can stand getting bees up your nose during the process.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
-- Emily Dickinson

You can see the pier. It's a bit of a walk away from the beach access ramp. Camp Hatteras in Rodanthe, NC on the OBX.
In the old lighthouse, the mice huddled for their lives as they were trapped in the abandoned lighthouse. The worst part was the lice that kept biting.
