Anyone have an insect bite of 3 punctures in a line

I tried to find information about this online, but only got guesses of bedbugs, fleas, or spiders. Spiders only have 2 fangs, so would only show 2 punctures, not 3. Fleas, bedbugs, ants, etc. are raised bumps and all over the body. My bite is on my upper arm and only in one place. Strangely, my brother and sister in law also happened to mention that they have gotten these too. Any other possibilities?

I just did a search online and one site noted bed bug bites as: "There may be a clustered configuration of 3 bites in a line (commonly known as "breakfast, lunch, and dinner")."

I would check under your mattress and check your sheets for stains. If you've traveled recently, check your suitcase. Tips for travelers: Always look under the matress before you get in the bed. It is also suggested that you keep your suitcase in the bathroom if possible or at least off of the carpeting.

I would think @geegerbee would have more bites if it were bed bugs.
