Hello guys, I saw today those big larvae, are those major larvae?

It's a Solenopsis saevissima colony.

If this species has majors then it could be that, or they could become princesses.

I'd say those would be majors, I just don't see a colony [although that's only one portion of the colony I don't know how large it is in total] making new Queens with that few of workers.
