I used to swear by REI jungle juice (it's like 97% deet) but found the mosquitoes were just pissed off and swarmed around my face which I found even more annoying than the bites. I've come up with three solutions for bug season and observing. First, showering before observing so you wont smell like anything, hopefully. Second, a light long sleeve layer even if its just the thinnest of poly pro (I think Patagonia Outlet calls it featherweight silk or some such), and most importantly, third, ALTITUDE. dlb http://homepage.mac.com/dlbennett/
