I believe it's not. Not at all. I remember an excursion into the Camargue, somewhere in the mid 90s, wanting to take some pictures of birds... :-) The adventure lastet about 1 hour, after that I had to find a pharmacy to put something on all the mosquito bites I had gotten during that time... I got bites through my pants! So much for preparation and taking pictures in mosquito infested swamps! Seriously, I really admire Dougs patience and results. All the best from the south of France!
