Psorophora ciliata
Giant mosquito.
Maryland bay area.
Yeah, I ID'd it later that day. Crazy, huh? When they bite you, it feels like you were shot.
I agree with you Livan. That is one big mosquito!
It looks to me like Gallinipper (Psorophora ciliata). What do you think?http://bugguide.net/node/view/32476
