Hi.
For my first subject, any chance to ID this mosquito?
I think it's a Culex.
~5mm
Fos-sur-Mer - south of France
Thanks

The abdomen is too pointed to be a Culex. This is Aedes (sensu lato), possibly Ochlerotatus leucomelas, but I can't be sure from a photo.

Thank you for this first elements.
However, Ochlerotatus leucomelas seems not present in Mediterranean France.

I am not familiar with the Mediterranean mosquito fauna, so can't really help any further. We may just have to leave it as Ochlerotatus species.

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
