Hello,

Some Culicidae larva found in a water bucket, in France, Oxelaere, the july 17 2014
Maybe Culex pipiens ?

Greetings,
Thomas

in the second picture I think I can see several hairbundles along the relative short siphon, so this must be C. pipiens. However, I'm not sure about the other 2. In those specimens I cannot rule out Culiseta.
