Hi Tony,

ecology or something without specimens can help to ID this?
add this to gallery or not? (here is already one photo from this genus there)

Hi Cosmin - it's not possible (for me) to say which species it is - either by habitat, locality or date. I think the best we can do is to put it in the gallery as a male Ochlerotatus , probably cantans or annulipes. Unless you have the specimen, and we can look at it a bit closer (genitalia would be good) we can't go much further.
