Technically, they are larvae, but they can be called "antlings", also.

The mother creeps under a stone or wood to make the initial nest. When a chamber with a size permitting her to turn around is formed, the entrance is closed with soil. She then lays about one egg every day. An egg changes to a larva within about 25 days. The larva produces threads by itself after some 10 days to form a white cocoon. The larva casts off the skin inside the cocoon and turns into an ant-shaped pupa. About 60 days after the eggs are laid, the initial worker is born. The body is black and very small due to lack of nutrition. However, it emerges from the cocoon vigorously and carries food.Sooner or later, the number of workers increases to around 10. The mother receives food from the workers and makes them take care of the larvae. As such, a mother that is accompanied by workers is called the Queen. (Mother=Queen=Female)

It would be larvae since insects that go through metamorphises will all start as larvae which include ants, butterflies, beetles, and many more for such a vast species.
