Hi Kuv, from what I see: female Aedes geniculatus (white knees, distinct pattern of thorax).
Greetings, Eric

The abdomen of this specimen is too pointy for geniculatus - it lacks the broad 8th sternite and short cerci of that species. I would say this is more likely to be Ochlerotatus sticticus.

Thank you very much Tony Smile.
I'll change headline to "more likely Ochlerotatus sticticus".

This is Aedes rusticus. Sides of thorax has way more scales than sticticus.

Thanks for the correction brundlefly - most of the sticticus I see have lost scales anyway - it's time I reared some!
