SW France. Around my legs last evening. 4 - 5 mm long.
It seemed to me smaller than
Culex pipiens so I gave it a pat to check.
Now when I see the wing veins and the dark bands on the abdomen, I lean towards
Aedes vexans.
Is this possible ?

Thank you Tony, here is a dorsal view.

That looks close enough. A final check is that
vexans has deep apical notch in sternum 8.
