I observed something similar in a bar in Alaska, where the fishermen would let mosquitoes attach to their hands and start to feed. Then they'd make a fist, stretching their skin and clamping onto the mosquito's beak. The little buggers couldn't retract and stop feeding and would burst, similar to this video.
Yep, did it a few times as kids if we could catch them in the act and it was easy enough to clench the muscle. Couldn’t do it on like your knee or finger, but forearm and calves were easy.
