On Chrysanthemum. Assumed this was P. fuscatus, but the yellow antennae tips are throwing me off. Apologies for the poor quality of the second photo, he flew off before I could get a better one.

What looked like a male eastern carpenter bee, but had white eyes? It was struggling to fly but couldn’t quite lift off the ground for some reason.

Ever since I joined a lab studying these I've been habitually scanning every tree of heaven I walk by. Seems to have paid off. This individual was promptly squashed and reported. Six more adults were found at this site by the professional bug squashers. These bugs presumably escaped the eradication down the street last summer.

Wooo! he emerged!!!
For it being the largest mosquito species in the US, it does seem kind of small, although it's definitely very loud when it flies.

Found in a root phytotelma of a Fagus grandifolia, reared indoors.
I find the spectrogram very interesting. It looks like the fundamental frequency is at about 800Hz. Crickets and most other things I've recorded have very clean songs without harmonics, so I was surprised to see the lovely harmonic series on the spectrogram. I'm also surprised by how low the fundamental frequency is, I would have thought it was much higher. Mosquitoes sound very high-pitched!
