Too much information!!!! The little buggers do seem to like those parts though, as I have found before
Its not just up there that the little critters are out and eating. This week, down here in Surrey, I've been midged (nowt like Scotland though), mozzied multiple times (these are a bugger in the wetter woodlands at the mo, and itch for a week or more with a big red patch on me), and ticked on my arm. I'm one up on the horseflies, though, got one before it got me.
The insects are taking over the world. Itching as I type.
