Culex tarsalis female
These are better pictures from yesterday. We have a pool next door. I think,maybe with more awareness because I submit pictures here,of mosquitos and other insects. But I still think it's because of rain we haven't had in ages contributing to it.
Culex tarsalis is a mosquito species that appears in southern California. The species has black and white banding on the legs. The species is a major vector of Saint Louis encephalitis and Western equine encephalitis virus in the western USA. It is also a confirmed vector of West Nile virus.
