To sign "mosquito", form your dominant hand into a pinched shape with your index finger and thumb touching, while the rest of your fingers are curled into your palm. Bring this hand to your face and touch the pinched fingers to the tip of your nose, representing the mosquito landing. Finally, bring your non-dominant hand up in an open, flat shape and slap the back of your dominant hand, mimicking the action of swatting the bug.
Sign 'mosquito' as described, then point to your arm and use your dominant index finger and thumb to pinch the skin slightly, showing where the bite happened.
After signing 'mosquito', use both hands to sign 'many' by flashing your fingers open multiple times, then sign 'outside' to complete the thought.
Sign 'mosquito', then bring your dominant hand near your ear in a pinched shape, moving it in small, erratic circles to mimic the annoying flight path of the bug.

No, a light, crisp tap on the back of your dominant hand is perfectly fine. The motion just needs to look like a swat; you don't need to use actual force or hurt yourself!
Yes! While the nose version is very popular, another widely accepted variation involves the dominant hand 'stinging' the back of your non-dominant hand, followed by the non-dominant hand slapping that same spot.
It should be a pinched shape, similar to a flattened 'O' or a pinched 'G' handshape. The index finger and thumb touch to represent the tiny, precise nature of the mosquito's stinger.
