Sorry I accidentally deleted my last post. I appreciate the answers the two people gave.

This is some big larva I found and the head looks centipede-ish but the body is short and fat with less legs.

I went through my images and found an old photo of a beetle that was on my screen door. Maybe it's a larva for one of these?

Interesting, cutworms seems to be a term used for various catipillar type larva, though none of the pictures I saw look to have the front 6 legs from my photo

Not a great photo in the Wikipedia link, I can see 1 leg sticking out only and looks a lot hairier.

Your photo looks very close to how I have seen them.

Looking up African Fruit Beetle grubs gets me this.

That is incredibly similar if not identical!
