Hi, photographed this Mosquito biting me during daylight hours in the afternoon, in the North West UK. Habitat was grassland with boggy areas and close to a river, and woodland close by. Hoping someone may be help with the species, or at least genus level? I posted it on facebook in a Diptera group and Ochlerotatus/Aedes annulatus was suggested, but I've added more photos so hoping someone can confirm that?. Thank you!
Identified as Ochlerotatus annulipes by Tony Irwin - Thank you! : )
