No new information--just thought I'd see if any of the wasp people recognize it.

Placement...
I think it's safe to call this an insect larva, but I don't know if it would get more attention in the "Insecta" section than here. Fly? Wasp? Moth? Beetle? One of those...
I wonder about the possibility of a Polistes larva, or something like that... seems like it might have a parasitoid larva on its "neck", so it could have been removed from the nest because of that (I don't know if paper wasps do that sort of thing, but it would make sense if they did)
