TL;DR
Nighttime bites in Nha Trang often leave marks that don't itch or hurt but persist for days. If a bite doesn't heal within a few days, see a doctor.
A bite appeared overnight — nothing visible in the evening, but a mark was found in the morning. By day 5 it still hadn't healed, though it caused no pain or itching. Likely a nocturnal insect.
Capybaras at local animal parks can scratch or bite, especially when reaching for food. The wound may look like a bite and cause minor bleeding. Such incidents have been reported multiple times at the same venue. Vaccination status of the animals is unconfirmed.
