Hello everyone, This male mosquito was reared from a larva collected in Richards Bay, South Africa. Can anyone please identify it to species level? Sorry about the bad quality photos.    Thank you in advance, Joh Viljoen; Richards Bay, South Africa |

It's almost hard from this photos, I need to see the abdomen and the frontal head, and a female would be better. By the white stripe on the thorax, seems the A. aegypti. The A. albopictus have just one central white stripe on the scutum, the A. aegypti have a lyre-shaped white pattern, wich seem to be present in the scutum of your subject.
