Female with blood in abdomen. Caught near house catchment tank, source was probably some discarded bamboo that had been cut lengthwise and left to catch water. Photo taken through net. Durrell may have better photos of this, need to check we don't duplicate records.
Photos taken thru plastic vial. Too much distortion but lyre still visible. (Testing to see if you can get acceptable images in this way. IMHO is borderline).

Found in rain barrel.
We swung a net for a minute under a Lychee tree on an organic farm. We caught at least eight Aedes albopictus. Fordforkona posted two of them, and this is an example of one more. There were at least five more Albopictus, male and female.
This is a mosquito we helped rear from larvae collected by entomologist Dr. Emilie Bess. She collected the larvae out of 6 containers at a Milolii house: 5-gallon buckets, an old aquarium, a glass vase, and a square plastic ice cream container.
Caught in a jar
Female Aedes albopictus reared from larva collected from a residence in Makawao, Maui.
She tried to bite me inside the house. Mr. Binder
This female hatched out about an hour before we photographed it. We collected four larvae from a bucket of stagnant water on the deck of private residence. We left the larvae in a jar with a stretched sock over the top to allow for ventilation. This is the second mosquito to emerge.
Hatched from larva from second flower pot at cemetery visited on 2/24.
Another hatched 2/27.
One of six captured by Uschi Snover and saved (in freezer). Another one was possibly aegypti but was damaged.
Pretty sure of ID, harp shaped white lines and no prominent central line on scutum. Using a 5x hand lens. Hard to get photo. Mosquito was outside house in carport.
