Given the place the photograph was taken, I see no other option, really. Must be Culiseta annulata. But, I am NO EXPERT at all, so don't believe me just like that and wait for the answer of a real expert! |

I would agree - it looks like Culiseta annulata (I'm no expert either! )

It was the size, like a small crane fly, that amazed me. Would be afraid to have this one sucking on me.  Bodysize, whithout mouthparts, 11-14 mm. Is that possible for annulata ? |

Yes, that's about right for annulata.
