 Hello everyone!

This mosquito must have flown into our kitchen on Thursday through the tilted window. When I saw it, it already looked sick, only moving when touched, and died before I could photograph it.

I would be very grateful for any identification.

Size: 4 mm
Date found: December 18, 2025
Habitat: Entry into apartment
Location: Nuremberg region, 350 m above sea level

 The wing vein (short R2+3) points to Keroplatidae, but I could not find a resembling pattern yet.
Greetings, Eric

 Proceroplatus? The tropical species Proceroplatus trinidadensis is found in Europe but probably can not survive outdoors in the winter. It lives in greenhouses.

 Hi Eric, hi John,

I already received a tip about Keroplatidae, and while searching the gallery at diptera.info, I found Proceroplatus trinidadensis. But I was very unsure about that.

The mention of greenhouses (and perhaps conservatories?) makes it more likely, I think.

I'll classify the animal that way for now. A new species for me. Wink

Thank you very much for your replies and happy holidays to you both!
Bernd
