Hello to all!
Is there a chance to narrow down a bit from Culicidae? There were many of them sitting on leaves, so that I took pictures and was glad that they ignored me so far. Length was about 1cm.

It didn't bite you because it is a male of the non-biting genus
Toxorhynchites. The name is Greek for "bent nose" (approximately), referring to the curved proboscis that is only good for poking at flowers.
