You're right, pretty rugged up, but they are darned annoying - and they seemed to manage to get inside clothing! Maybe they have matter transport beams...
Mosquitoes??
You don't know what mosquitoes are until you've met the ones we breed up here.
They're as large as medium sized moths. They can't do sneak attacks cause you can feel them when they land.
They have the ability to bite you through the thickest track pants.
Don't worry, I grew up in Darwin. I know aaaaaallll about tropical mozzies, so yes I do feel a bit of a wuss complaining about these southern ones... but they're still pesky critters! Even if they're solo flyers here, rather than arriving in squadroms...
The scotch greys are the worst I reckon. Followed by those ones with the yellow and black striped abdomens (we call 'em Dengue Mozzies)
But the tiny little black beggars, the ones that get caught behind the lenses of your glasses. Biting at your eyelids. Yowch. Many a night I've come back inside with my eyes badly swollen.

Have to turn sideways to get in through the doors, I hear
Pretty much the most terrifying experience I had in the top end was hearing the blighters change gears as they came in for the kill, they were ENORMOUS. Still get the nervous twitch when I hear the beggers we have in Sydney.
