| | | Mosquito Identification
Please can anyone identify this insect, judging by the hairy palps and antennae I would guess that it's a male mosquito. 
Thanks

Yes, a male mosquito. From the white banded legs I would suggest Culiseta annulata. |

If you're into mosquito ID there's a piece about UK mosquitoes, including ID key, in current (June) edition of British Wildlife mag. |
