Hi Martin. Welcome to Diptera.info! I'm sure you will get lots of help here, but do remember we're working from photos, so useful characters are not always visible. Sadly this specimen has lost most of its scales (and thus most of its characters) which makes things tricky. I'm not able to say more than it's Aedes, maybe Ochlerotatus. Rather than struggle with this, go back to the site and see if you can catch some fresher specimens. I've never used a BG-pro trap, but I would hope you could get better quality material for your project. |t
