Problem with "not needing it" is knowing that ahead of time. Just takes one mosquito to ruin a whole night. If my hammock doesn't have a built in net, I bring a separate one or, as a minimum, the HUG.

In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
I’ve been using a Dutch summer sock around my netless and it works great. And I camp the Everglades a bunch. I also have a few others, with integrated bug nets, and like said in an earlier comment, if you press against the netting they’ll get ya. If you do an integrated net hammock, consider a double layer for added protection from below also.

I prefer zippered attached nets to Fronkey style, but I do like that the fronkey can be used with just about any hammock.
I have a separate bug net and like it...I think. It's kind of a pain to put on and off and it's not quite big enough. It's one of the biggest I could find as the first one I tried was too small and was really stretching it to get a diagonal lay. I have been looking at hammocks with a zippered bug net for easy deployment.
I have and 11' hammock and am 6'5" so a bug net being too small may not be a concern for normal sized people.
