Identification remarks I cannot be 100% confident with this ID. However, based on the mottled legs without distinct pale bands on tarsi and the pale scaling on the thorax this is most likely Aedes sagax. Location also matches known distribution. There are a couple of similar looking specimens, possibly Aedes nigrithorax, but the pale scale patterning on legs doesn't match that species.
