Hello Found swimming at the bottom of a Rainwater bucket in NE of France between Metz and Thionville (Distroff 57925), about 5mm lenght. I think it's Culex larva ? Thank you for your help Louis Weitten lweit attached the following image:  [89.47Kb] |

Culex territans larva. Immediately recognized by its long and slender siphon with numerous hairbundles. |

Tony reminded me of the presence of C. hortensis and on second thought this larvae belongs to C. hortensis instead of C. territans |

Thank you atylotus and Tony I've found a drawing of the siphon of Culex species in one of your messages http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=64234&pid=272796 Louis Edited by lweit on 24-11-2014 21:53 |
