Hello everyone! This mosquito must have flown into our kitchen on Thursday through the tilted window. When I saw it, it already looked sick, only moving when touched, and died before I could photograph it. I would be very grateful for any identification. Size: 4 mm Date found: December 18, 2025 Habitat: Entry into apartment Location: Nuremberg region, 350 m above sea level BeJoCo attached the following image:  [156.42Kb] Edited by BeJoCo on 23-12-2025 09:45 Best regards Bernd |

The wing vein (short R2+3) points to Keroplatidae, but I could not find a resembling pattern yet.
Greetings, Eric |

Proceroplatus? The tropical species Proceroplatus trinidadensis is found in Europe but probably can not survive outdoors in the winter. It lives in greenhouses. |

Hi Eric, hi John, I already received a tip about Keroplatidae, and while searching the gallery at diptera.info, I found Proceroplatus trinidadensis. But I was very unsure about that. The mention of greenhouses (and perhaps conservatories?) makes it more likely, I think. I'll classify the animal that way for now. A new species for me.  Thank you very much for your replies and happy holidays to you both! Bernd Edited by BeJoCo on 23-12-2025 09:44 Best regards Bernd |
