You must know by now that in English a word seldom has only one meaning!

In fact, one of the alternative definitions for bite is "a painful would caused
by the thrust of an animal's stinger into skin"; I submit that
"proboscis" is
close enough, and the fact that it often "stings", the
"drilling" qualifies as
a  "bite"! ;)
