Mosquito - Ochlerotatus cantator - Female
Wakefield, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
May 17, 2006
Size: 5 mm
Here is a shot that shows the dark unbanded proboscis. This eliminates the other possibilities becacause both O. sollicitans and O. taeniorhynchus have a white band of scales in the middle of their probosci.
