Sorry about the state of this fly. It was collected by the swat method. But now I've got it photographed, I'm not sure it is a mosquito. Townsville, Queensland. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [72.63Kb] Edited by Graeme Cocks on 29-02-2016 17:26 |

Assuming the scales are from it, rather than some of your moths, it's an Aedes female (but might be difficult to identify!)

Thanks Tony. No moth scales on this one. The chunky proboscis and the colour of the legs make it a new one for me. Now to find some more.
