Deathsquitos are the thing you should worry about least in that biome.

This. Deathsquitos have been nerfed into carebear mode.

Used to be the deathsquitos would hit for 50+ dmg on iron armor, now they tickle. Even when they did all that damage they still got one shot by draugrs fang. So it was just a game of wait for it to attack and then loose before it hits you. Now you can almost ignore them.
