Hi all, In the last weeks I almost see everyday these mosquitos. I've never seen them before here. Location : Northern Germany, near the border to denmark. Weather for the last weeks : It's raining almost every day, temperatures about 10 to 14°C , much too warm for autumn in Northern Germany. This one took my blood, and now I'm a little bit afraid of illness.  Can you help me identifying it. And is this one common for Northern Germany ? Thanks, Gerd Rossen http://www.digita...graphy.com |

Hi Gerd - difficult to be sure, but I think this is Culiseta annulata - one of the common species that regularly bites humans. As a rule, there's no need to worrry about illness from mosquito bites in Northern Europe.
