Mosquitoes.....Grrrrrrr!

その週末は暑いと蒸し暑いでした。ですから、蚊にたくさん刺されました。
Sono shuumatsu wa atsui to mushiatsui deshita. Desukara, ka ni takusan sasaremashita.
Translation:
The weekend was hot and humid. So, therefore, I have a lot of mosquito bites.

Ka - Mosquito

If you are bitten by a mosquito you would say:

(私は)蚊に刺された。(Watashi wa) ka ni sasareta. - I have been bitten by a mosquito. (I've been bitten by mosquitoes)
(Just say: 蚊に刺された。ka ni sasareta. It sounds more natual and fluent)

And of course a mosquito bite really itches, so when you scratch the bite you can cry out:

かゆい! Kayui! - It itches!
