Hi, this individual was caught in May in Austria close to Vienna. Is it possible to identify the species? Thank you! Isabell Isabell K attached the following image:  [111.8Kb] Edited by Isabell K on 19-08-2024 13:17 |

As a rule, it's difficult to identify mosquitoes that are preserved in alcohol - the patterns and colours used to distinguish the species are difficult to interpret. Having said that, this specimen looks like Anopheles plumbeus to me, but I cannot be certain from these photos.
