The caterpillar of Proserpinus proserpina, an insect larva

A larvae (Latin; singular larva) is a juvenile form of animal with indirect development, undergoing metamorphosis (for example, insects or amphibians).

The larva can look completely different from the adult form, for example, a caterpillar differs from a butterfly. Larvae often have special (larval) organs which do not occur in the adult form. The larvae of some species can become pubescent and not further develop into the adult form (for example, in some newts). This is a type of neoteny.

It is a misunderstanding that the larval form always reflects the group's evolutionary history. It could be the case, but often the larval stage has evolved secondarily, as in insects. In these cases the larval form might differ more from the group's common origin than the adult form.

The early life stages of most fish species are considerably different from juveniles and adults of their species and are called larvae.

Names of various kinds of larvae:

Animal Name of larva
Hydrozoa planula
Many crustaceans nauplius
Decapoda zoea
Mayflies, Grasshoppers, True Bugs, etc. nymph
Dragonflies, Damselflies naiad
Butterflies and moths caterpillar
Beetles, Bees, Wasps grub
Flies maggot
Mosquitos wriggler
Certain molluscs, annelids trochophore
Certain molluscs veliger
Freshwater mussels glochidium
Lamprey ammocoete
Fish (generally) larva
Eels leptocephalus
Amphibians tadpole, polliwog
