Those jaws look like those of a carnivore.

@donhe Don, More likely a moth.

@LisaH : can you photograph the small one with jaws from the side so we can see the legs ?

Sorry, these are the only photos I have. I think that what looks like jaws, are very thin front legs - they are hairy, and a lighter colour

If you want a larva identified: you have to take it into protective custody and rear it to an adult. Otherwise noone is any the wiser and its a waste of time.
