Hi there, Here are two photos of the same individual taken in an urbanized area around Paris (Houilles, 78800, France). I am quite a novice at identifying Culicidae species. Based on what I read on the internet, the resting position with an angle is a characteristic of Anopheles sp but the short palps remind Culiseta sp., perhaps longiareolata... Is there a more expert eye that could provide more details on this ID? |

It is a Culex female, but I'm unsure which species.
