I thought they were the same. Anyway yes they bite chunks out of you...you can actually feel them doing it. For me a deer/horse fly bite takes months to go away.

I lived in Worthing, many many moons ago (and yes, there were mozzies there and other nasty biting critters).

Not many mossies back in Bedfordshire. There were evil midges up north though
The mosquitoes have been awful this year with all the rain and standing water. Deer flies, horse flies, elephant flies...
No snakes to talk of in the UK

Except for those areas that have been repopulated with adders, courtesy of the "conservationists".

Walkers crisps. Other than that I'm grateful to be able to live in Canada. Very grateful and thankful.

Good things about the UK:
The people - banter, humour, down to earth and straight forward.
Culture
Nightlife
Architecture
Rugby (both codes)
Footie
Country Pubs/Pub Gardens
Real Ale
Street/Farmers Markets
You can walk in/on the Countryside/Coastline
The BBC
Ridiculous tabloid papers
Decent Newspapers
Chippies
Curry Houses that are open until 4 am
Special Fried rice with Pork Prawns and Chicken and Curry sauce.
Proper Pies - Steak and Kidney Chicken Balti, Pork etc
Pubs that are heaving on a Friday lunchtime/Weekday night with people mixing and talking to one another.
Mild Weather all year round.
People know how to drive.
Fruit, Veg, Booze and Dairy wont bankrupt you.
Price tags/stickers that dont lie to you.
Some of these have been done to death on here and there are of course many more but these were just a few that for me are the things I like and miss the most.

Re: Say something good about the UK
However, here's one example, from the BBC -
. 23 April 2011
From the section Hampshire & Isle of Wight
A nine-year-old girl is recovering in hospital after being bitten by what doctors believe was a venomous adder snake in Hampshire's New Forest.
Tyler Butcher was bitten by the poisonous reptile on her foot in Bolderwood on Friday afternoon.
