Mosquitos in Alaska are formidable in appearance - there are people who carry baseball bats in readiness - but in my experience, they don't mind being killed. Far from being subtle in their attacks they fly straight at you and they are so slow that you can easily bat them out of existence.

no-seeums, on the other hand, are nasty. You can't see them unless they are traveling in packs. Unfortunately they do travel in packs.
