Also, did you happen to notice if mosquitos, once inside your tent, started shift their focus away from biting you and more toward just getting out? (eg, just hanging out at the peak and against the walls like that).
The ones in the photo are between the tent and the fly. They do provide good motivation to stay in the tent until morning. In the worst spots, we would get away from camp and a little ways down the road before taking natures call.

There were definitely some that got in, but they seemed to be mostly buzzing against the sides of the tent, so the first exercise would be to get those. A few already had blood, mine or others?
