Super-strength horseflies too. G/f and I were both bitten through our trousers somewhere up near Ullapool; she ended up with a crater in her leg the size of a half crown which took a fortnight to heal, using some antibiotic Polyfilla stuff to fill the hole...

And happy memories of Kiwi sandflies...
