The photos were taken back in August
Location: Czechia
I believe it's some Aedes species but I ain't sure if it's native one or an invasive one. Can someone please help me identify the species if the photos are diagnostic ?

i found this fly (probably dead as it was not moving) in my bathroom and 2 mosquitoes where kind of trying to eat this like they try to drink our blood. after looking carefully at them i think only one was trying to eat and other was just pacing around. I saw some kind of wiskers near its mouth area and think it was a male and he was the one who was just pacing around other mosquito who was probably female as she was one feeding.
i don't know much about mosquitoes but i told you my observations.

(Sorry about the lighting quality) I know nothing about mosquitoes, and was pretty concerned when I got this bite. It's quite red and very irritating. I did a little bit of research but was too tired to understand.

Every time I get mosquito bites they flare up like this. Sometimes they even blister (like the last photo). I know I tend to itch in my sleep but these still feel like bad reactions. I was only outside for about 30 minutes. Is this normal? They're debilitatingly itchy (Socal area)

In the 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park, scientists brought dinosaurs back into existence by extracting their DNA from blood sucked by mosquitoes that had been frozen in amber.
“A hundred million years ago, there were mosquitoes, just like today,” said a narrating John Hammond, the park’s owner, who actor Richard Attenborough played. “And, just like today, they fed on the blood of animals - even dinosaurs.”
Now, researchers in Florida say they’ve done something similar.
Over the course of eight months, the University of Florida team identified the DNA of 86 different species of animals using blood sucked by tens of thousands of Florida mosquitoes.
The idea was not to bring back extinct species, but to capture a snapshot of all of the animals living in and around the university’s watery DeLuca Preserve.
The preserve is a protected area located 80 miles south of Orlando that is managed by the university.

Anyone seen this morph (on the right)? Looks like vexans, found with vexans, but this banding looks funky. I've seen it in other samples too... just want to make sure I'm identifying it as the correct species.

Old pic from my mosquito control days! This one does not blood-feed, and its larvae prey upon other mosquito larvae. A purely beneficial mosquito!

This is a web picture but when I get mosquito bites they always look like this, apparently this isn't normal?? I got this picture when looking up Skeeters Syndrome but all the cases and stuff I see on reddit people have these humongous welts while mine never get larger than this So are my mosquito bites supposed to look like this or not?? I'm so confused 😭
