What kind of bugginess can we expect if we stay here in November?

My family is planning to travel to Puerto Rico in November, and we ware wondering if we should be prepared for an army of insects or anything like that if we stay near the forest. I haven't been to anywhere but the beach in the spring time, so any insight/anecdotal experiences or suggested resources would be appreciated. I had a look at previous Puerto Rico posts, but didn't catch anything. Thanks in advance!

I've been to El Yunque in the winter, and didn't have any particular bug experiences there--even in the rainforest. I found P.R. in general to be very much like Florida, and don't expect you'll encounter much of anything bug-wise you wouldn't see on the mainland.
