  2. Sep 2, 2024 · Larva, stage in the development of many animals, occurring after birth or hatching and before the adult form is reached. These immature, active forms are structurally different from the adults and are adapted to a different environment. In some species the larva is free-living and the adult is an.

  3. The word larva is applied to the young of certain animals that must undergo great physical changes before they become adults. A young frog hatches from the egg as a water-living tadpole and gradually becomes transformed into the air-breathing adult.

  4. Larvae are active, mobile, and voracious eaters, focusing on growth and development. They have specialized adaptations for locomotion and play important roles in the ecosystem. Pupae, on the other hand, are immobile, quiescent, and do not feed.

    The organism emerging from the egg or from the maternal body, apart from being incompletely developed, may have an organization more or less different from that of an adult. In some cases the difference is so great that, without knowing the origin of the eggs or without following the young through their full course of development, it would be impos...

    A larva (/ ˈlɑːrvə /; pl.: larvae / ˈlɑːrviː /) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage. Animals with indirect development such as insects, some arachnids, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle.

  7. A larva is an immature stage of an organism that undergoes metamorphosis, often differing significantly in appearance and lifestyle from its adult form. In amphibians, the larval stage typically includes aquatic adaptations such as gills and a tail, allowing them to thrive in water before transitioning into a terrestrial adult.
