Hi Troy,
They certainly can be a nuisance. I see that your location says "Brisbane" so
you might want to take steps to avoid getting bitten at all.
In recent weeks the health authorities have noted a mosquito infestation there
and are on the lookout for dengue fever spreading that far south. Apparently
in 1905 an epidemic hit 75% of the Brisbane population, so it is technically
possible to reach there.
Consider a repellent with DEET such as RID or Tropical Strength Aeroguard
(the normal one won't cut it). Watch this stuff on your plastic and rubber bits
and pieces though, it can eat into it. So wipe your hands before picking up
cameras or eyepieces or before typing on a keyboard.
