Sometimes they can! Your earlier specimen has lost most of it's scales, which is why I said "probably". The recent specimen is much fresher, but the tergites are not clearly visible, which is why I said "I think". ;)
Identifying mosquitoes from photos is not an exact science, and I'd be the first to admit I make mistakes. If you can collect the specimens you photograph, then we have a better chance of naming them with confidence.

Thank you very much, Tony!
I understand that 100% result is no guarantee. But to understand certain things sometimes you can even ask the question.

Wouldn't
Aedes rossicus be a good suggestion for this one? The colder tones and lack of contarst between scutum and abdomen is more indicative for that species than
Ae. cinereus.

Could be - I'm not familiar with this species.
