Hello,

I took these pictures in a forest in the Eifel (western germany) in august. Can genus or species be indentified?

Thanks,
Michael

Does nobody have an idea? Is at least the family correct?

Yes, this is a female Culicidae. Similar to Ochlerotatus (Finlaya) geniculatus female, but you should get confirmation.

Thanks.

I have changed the subject. Perhaps someone can confirm it, or just say, that it's impossible to say.
