Hi Daniele. Sorry. Compiler is free, and there are many bad. Greeting Ivan

Hi Ivan! This looks like the Tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus. This Asian species is now present in the south of Europe (including Greece) as well as Africa and the Americas, and is a vector for numerous diseases such as yellow fever, dengue fever and chikungunya. Please verify or see what others says, as I am not a mosquito specialist.
