Banded Mosquito

Culiseta annulata

Taken on 25th July 2007, Lincoln UK. I had a swollen ankle, this was inside and buzzing around my ears but I never felt it bite!

Both males and females are present through the year, unlike most British mosquitoes.

This is the largest mosquito in Britain, feeding on birds, humans and other mammals. It is a food for bats and birds.
