Interesting midge. I don't think I've seen that one before. Is it present in Scandinavia also? |

Yes, this looks exactly like A. albopictus that I know from Japan. There this mosquito is the most common pest around paddyfields. It is a nuisance cause it attacks aggressively day and night. To my knowledge it is a recent introduction to Europe. And this species is susceptible to heavy frost, so it does not occur in most parts of Central and Northern Europe.
