Does it came from saline habitat? It looks like Ochlerotatus caspius, although dorsal shot to see pattern on mesonotum and terga is would be of help to confirm that. http://bioinfo-pr...us_M_.html Edited by Sergiy Filatov on 29-12-2014 09:53 |

Hi Sergiy, thanks for your help. Nope, I'm 50-60 Km from the sea (near Venice). I have other photos, not so sharp.    But I should have the specimen. I hope it help, otherwise I'll search for the specimen. Thank you so much for the help. Regards, Marcello Edited by Marcello on 29-12-2014 18:05 http://www.flickr...loconsolo/ |

Ochlerotatus caspius confirmed. By the way, it seems that 50 km is not a problem for that bloodlusting ladies  |
