Hello, I wanted to photograph this pretty mosquito from other perspectives, but it fled. It is relatively big; compare with the size of the calyx of Primula veris. Data: Germany, Lower Saxony, Sehnde, Höver, dry grassland, surrounded by damp woods (Gaim), 75 m, 7 May 2020. Best regards, Tina.

Hi Tina, it's probably a male Aedes sp. - and I guess it may be A. geniculatus. Greetings, Eric |

I think the palpomeres are too swollen for geniculatus - also the pale basal bands on the tergites appear to be unbroken, so I think it is more likely to be rusticus or similar

Thank you Eric, thank you Tony! This is therefore my first Aedes sp. (I only had Culex sp. and Culiseta sp. yet - but at my place, indoors.)
