I bet you get lots of suggestions.
Well I did.... but since I don't know exactly what stung me..... I get a lot of mixed answers lol.

there is no stinger in there so I doubt it was a bee..... don't they leave the stinger behind and then die? I never found a bee laying around and no stinger.

Hubby said that even some caterpillars can sting. I didn't know that. and we were under a tree. maybe it fell into my hand and I squeezed it and it stung me. it's a long shot though lol.

I have been stung by hornets and wasps and bees before and never had a reaction like this. so I REALLY have no idea what the sting is from.
