This looks like a Culiseta male, possibly bergrothi (Culicidae), but it could be an Ochlerotatus which I don't recognize. The lack of wing spots suggests Cs.glaphyroptera, but all the Scandinavian records were shown to be bergrothi.

I recently found Culiseta glaphyroptera in Bohuslän, some 90 km North of Gothenburg. Where did you take this picture?

Hi Anders! The picture was taken in Brännö in the archipelago of Gothenburg. https://artportal...g/15511137

I believe that those rocky coast localities might be good for Cs. glaphyroptera. It is described in the literature as a mountain species that breeds in rocky pools. If you have a chance, try to look for overwintering individuals in basements and other suitable spaces. Also in Gothenburg, especially in the Högsbo area you might look for Culex pipiens molestus, a species that is becoming a nuisance indoors. It is spreading also to Guldheden and Hisingen, but so far seems to have its stronghold in Högsbo.
