Finns det några myggar i Sverige? De är i Amerika, och är ett stort problem.
I believe so. German has both Mücke and Moskito. The former is mygga and describes a midge, an insect that swarms around you on a summer evening. The latter is moskit and describes the insect that gives you malaria.
I was really scared the first time I heard an English person casually use the word mosquito and saying they're an everyday thing!

Is there a more general word for bugs/small flying insects? In my region of Germany, "Mücke" can refer to more than just the bloodsucking type.
