 This melancholic-looking mosquito recently sat in the stairwell of our house in south-west Germany (20 km west of Stuttgart). Could it be Aedes japonicus? Many thanks for helpful hints,
Sundew

 Good morning Sundew, no doubt - it's A. japonicus.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

 Many thanks, Eric! Meanwhile I found the nice mosquito key by Lindström et al. (https://www.resea...pecies.pdf) and am fully convinced I got the right species.
Best wishes, Sundew

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
