That’s what I was kind of thinking Ted! It doesn’t really look like other ant larvae I’ve seen, and it’s pretty large compared to that soldier, but my tropical larval identification skills aren’t strong enough to decipher this one!

I wonder if it’s a myrmecophilous coleopteran larva of some kind.

Funny you should mention Alex, I just sat in on two ant seminars this week by visiting scientists (Brian Fisher from Cal Acad, and Corrie Moreau from the Field Museum) that he organized. It was a great series of talks on ants! Despite old political lines, I hope that the entomologically inclined here at Guelph can come together and continue (and perhaps expand upon) these sort of seminars!

That is fascinating stuff Morgan, Alex Smith at BIO (I know, I know) works on ants of Costa Rica, maybe try contacting him? I can provide his email if needed
