(MOSQUITO) BITE vs. (BEE) STING
刺す、虫刺され（蚊） vs. 刺す、虫刺され（蜂）

In English, we say that mosquitoes bite and bees sting (verb).

A mosquito bite or bee sting (noun) is the red, swollen, itchy, or painful area on your skin after you are bitten by a mosquito or stung by a bee.

Be Careful! You can NOT say that a person is “stung” by a mosquito, as in the Japanese expression 蚊に刺された.
A person is bitten by a mosquito.
英語では、蚊が刺すときは bite を使い、蜂が刺すときは sting （動詞）を使います。

mosquito bite や bee sting （名詞）は、蚊や蜂に刺された後に、皮膚が赤く腫れて痒くなったり、痛くなったりした箇所のことです。

注意：日本語では、蚊に「刺される」と言いますが、英語では蚊の場合、sting は使いません。bite を使います。
