"Kissing" or "mirror-image" lesions where two skin areas come in contact (for example, the elbow flexure) are often seen. [8] Washing the hands and skin with soap and water is strongly recommended, if contact with a rove beetle has occurred ...

A bite is defined as coming from the mouthparts of the arthropod. The bite consists of both the bite wound and the saliva.
