I found this in my kitchen, next to a pile of acorns. Don't ask why there are acorns in my kitchen.
Length: about 10 mm, or 1 centimeter

Compare it to some of your camponotous larvae, as it looks like I may be pupating
There is a important time for everything, important place for everyone, an important person for everybody, and an important ant for each and every ant keeper and myrmecologist alike

It looks nothing like my Camponoutus larva.
1. It's way to big
2.It has a reddish mouth, which no ant species larva (to my knowledge) has.

Well now we know it defiantly isn't any ant species. Also it was excreting some fecal material in the picture. Camponotus motors doesn't do that. Anyways, the more you know the more places you'll go; this rings true with many ant species as well, so I kind of helped you identify the larvae and learn more about Campomotous! Boom! Logic bomb!
