    I was in the Canary isles on holiday when a large insect flew onto the back of my neck as I tried to brush it away it gave me a hell of a bite, felt like a needle going in. A witness said she saw me wince as it bit. As it landed on me it felt as if it had claws as it seemed to clamp onto my skin. Any ideas.

    Possibly a kissing bug or one of the other assassin bug species.
