Why a caterpillar is considered an insect?
That they can have a hairy look is a reason for calling them caterpillars.
Specifically, the word can be traced back to the Middle English catyrpel. It comes from the Late Latin catta pilosa by way of the Old French chatepelose and the Old North French caterpilose. The original meaning in French and Latin was "shaggy cat", probably in reference to such hairy-looking caterpillars as the woolly bear (Pyrrharctia Isabella).

You could have been bitten by a deer tick. They are usually found in wooden and grassy areas. After being bitten by one it usually forms a "bull's eye" rash, which has a light circle in the centre and a darker circle on the outside. I would go get that checked out by a professional for some medication immediately!

How do you get rid of doodle bugs?
Call the Bomb squad! Doodlebug was an allied code name for the Fieseler FI-l03 guided missile also known as the Buzz Bomb ( from its noise) and more properly the V-I retaliation weapon I. The term has other meanings- most of them derisive- a type of gas-electric railroad car- long obsolete- and some other meanings. I have not heard it applied to real insects.
