Coquillettidia perturbans
Large, brown colored mosquito, common near marshes and areas with freshwater vegetation. Females usually bite at night, though this was during the day. Larvae attach to submerged plants with a breathing siphon and obtain air through plant tissues. Female was more persistant in biting me than the asian tiger mosquitoes here.
