Skeeters can be bad at times, especially in the evening, shady deep woods, and near standing/stagnant water. There are also flies that like to buzz around behind your head but they don't really bite as long as you shoo them away. Bring mosquito repellent and depending on temperature, try to minimize the amount of exposed skin you have. Without repellent I got a number of bites on my hands and arms, and they liked to try to bite my face & ears too. Wear long pants & crew or longer length socks, a hat or cap (good against sun too), and if the high isn't expected to go above 70F, maybe long sleeve shirts as well. Repellent is effective even for a mosquito-magnet like me, just spray everywhere from the neck down and dab some around the ears as well. Use a repellent you can spray on your skin.

Bugs not bad. Deet products work . Be sure to only spray on clothes
