Deinocerites cancer - Female
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, USA
March 15, 2006
This almost completes Bugguide's list of North American genera (we still need Haemagogus). What is evident from this photo is that this is quite an unimpressive little mosquito, the chief ID feature being the long antennae, and the fact that it is found in crab holes.

dude,
next time post your pictures of mosquitos up (even the ones you know the ID of) on the ID request. then an editor would see them and create a page for them. what do you think?
