What is a small green insect that bites?

Mosquitos can be green in color. They can bite you through your clothes and leave a swelling mark just like a regular mosquito.

The only thing I can think of is Lice. I don't think you found a tick and fleas are normally black or brown. It could also be some kind of mite. You might try looking in a guide book specifically for your state.

Sounds like a variety of assassin bug, if the bug was under an inch long and the bite was painful. Sometimes a blood blister will develop from assassin bug bites. They typically bite in self-defense (such as if they get into your clothes or bedding and feel trapped. )
