Hallo
Bavaria, May-July
For several months we can find these larvae with eggs and a few pupae in the rain barrel in our garden.
Is it possible to assign it to a species?
Here we have
Culex pipiens,
Culiseta annulata and
Ochlerotatus sp.
The dead female sometimes swim in the water looks like
Culex and
Ochlerotatus.
I will watch a female with the microscope soon.
Regards,
Dennis

the last photo showing the siphon belongs to the larva of Culex pipiens. A relative long siphon with more than 1 hairbundle is always Culex.
