Need another piece of advice though. Lately I'm encountering a new demon-spawn insect - its a small, brownish, fly-looking bug that is a blood sucker and hurts! (reminds me of the deer flies I encounter when visiting relatives in Idaho/Wyoming) Brazoria and Anahuac NWR seem to have these little beasties is abundance. I've been using a 29% DEET spray and these things seem immune to it. Ideas?

Justin and I call them horse flies, but I'm not sure if that's the correct term for them. I remember our visit to Anahuac, and between the mosquitoes and the horseflies it was, uh, "fun" -- they got inside our vehicle, since we'd roll the windows down to shoot photos from the car, using it as a blind, and then roll them up, trapping the menacing little bloodsuckers in with us!
