Hallo Bavaria, May-July For several months we can find these larvae with eggs and a few pupae in the rain barrel in our garden. Is it possible to assign it to a species? Here we have Culex pipiens, Culiseta annulata and Ochlerotatus sp. The dead female sometimes swim in the water looks like Culex and Ochlerotatus. I will watch a female with the microscope soon.

the last photo showing the siphon belongs to the larva of Culex pipiens. A relative long siphon with more than 1 hairbundle is always Culex. |
