From the description of the shape. An upside down "V", that would be more than likely a branching vein.
It sounds like the 2 merging veins are very near the surface of your skin and some female mosquitoes had a nice all you can eat buffet there.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Multiple mosquito bites in a small area will itch a LOT more than if they were some distance apart.
Yes, they found a nice "V" shaped blood vessel and chowed down.
Apply some Calomine lotion to the area. That should relieve a lot of the itching until it heals.

Probably some kind of mosquito or fly. Maybe some kind of ant bite? Not real sure, but I'd suggest using some cream as opposed to whipping out a machete.

Normally I use Cortisone cream 10% over the counter to help with the itch. If it is not getting better, you should go see a doctor. Hope you will feel better.
