Photographed yesterday in Zhejiang China. I'm sure one is definitely the larva of a certain mosquito but I'm not sure about the other. They were observed together.

Is this also the larva of a certain mosquito like the above one?

The first image shows a larva, the 2nd a pupa - probably of the same Culicidae-species.
