A tiny reddish arachnid (chigger or mite) that causes intense itching when it burrows into the skin, especially common in autumn.
Compound of harvest and bug, named because this parasitic mite becomes particularly bothersome during the harvest season when workers are in fields.
These microscopic terror-bugs don't actually burrow into your skin like people think—they dissolve a tiny hole in your skin and suck up the liquefied cells, which is somehow even grosser.
