Taken in the winter time, when inadequate mosquito, inside a bathroom in Motril (Granada-Spain).
It is able to sting with its trunk? On which it feeds?
Grateful for your answers. Greetings

Hi Maherjos. This looks to me like a female mosquito from the family Culicidae, probably Culex sp. It can bite you, and it wants your blood Shock
Be brave!

A greeting from Motril, Spain.
