Tree hole mosquito - Ochlerotatus triseriatus - Male
Wendell State Forest, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA
June 28, 2009
Size: 4.5 mm (approx.)
This is a mosquito on water in a tree hole. Is it one of the named "tree hole" mosquitoes? (Or can it be IDed at all?)

There are a bunch of mosquito or midge fly larvae and pupae visible under the water's surface in the full picture. June was rainy in Massachusetts.
