North America M. Mosquito
I have this mosquito around my house, but the back seems to have stripes. There is an off yellow and brown striped back (three stripes) plus a pronounced(rigid) hypodermic stinger...maybe 3-4 mm long. Does this sound like the same TYPE??????

This sounds like one mosquito we don't want around.
