A rare mosquito for Townsville. This is only the second that has turned up in the malaise trap. Any suggestions? Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [35.08Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 08-05-2011 01:07 |

Difficult to be sure from this photo, but I'd suggest something like Aedes tremulus

Thanks that Tony. Here is a picture of what I think is another of the same species. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [95.92Kb] |

The first one pictured has been sequenced on BOLD, but they do not have a A. tremulus to compare with. I found a mention of it on a Townsville website on bromeliads, so it is in the area. |
