Norway, 15.04.10.
Any chance?
#3
Yes, what views would be helpful?
#4
dorsal surface of the abdomen, shape of the caudal "paddles"
#5
.....and shape of the thoracic horn. If there are spines present at the lateral side of the last abdominal segment then Anopheles spec. If the thoracic horn is long and slender than Culex. If not than Aedes or Culiseta. Generally Aedes breeds in temporary habitats (forest pools), while Culiseta breeds in permant waterbodies.

I had these from yesterday, no time for new pics today, but maybe these will help?
#8
I'll predict
Aedes cinereus will hatch from this pupa - based on what I can see in your excellent photos, though not all the characters are clear!
#9
I found that I have a ok pic of the larva.
Maybe it helps?
#11
Pupa is
Ochlerotatus, not
cinereus [I predicted wrong again!
