Yeah. Now I've cheated and seen this. So, the above was approximately correct:

Phew, so as I thought, parasites, not egg laying. I must admit, I couldn't envisage why mother nature would tell the mossie to lay her eggs where they had no escape. I was having visions of hundreds of unborn eggs inside me.

Mosquitos - hmm!
nils - During the day I don't find them a problem, and the day ones are supposed to be the Dengue fever carriers. As soon as it gets dark the nighttime ones come out and start biting.
We have just returned following 3 weeks at the Hilton. The lobby / reception and ground floor restaurant was badly affected during the day. To pick up on Big Boy's post, we were on the 15th floor and we only saw the occasional mozzie at that height.

Daytime precautions of repellent should be used, both day and night.
