This depends on the type of insect. Some insects only ever eat leaves while some eat honeydew once they reach maturity.

∙ 15y agoSome larvae are herbivores; some are not. Larvae of the order diptera eat meat; most eat only dead meat, but some are actually carnivores. Usually larvae are herbivores and feast off of nearby plants.

Both amphibian metamorphosis and insect metamorphosis are alike because one animal or insect becomes an entirely new animal or insect. They are different in the process, however.

How are the life cycles of mollusks and insects alike?
how The life cycles of a mollusk and an insect are alike because the larvae both look like worms. Some of them are worms, but the larva of the insect grows to look like a regular adult later on in life. There are other similarities that I cannot state.

What is the different between larva and pupa?
Nymphs are a juvenile form of insects that undergo hemimetabolous, or gradual metamorphosis. Nymphs are like "mini-adults" and resemble their adult form. Many winged insects have aquatic nymph young with wing buds. The nymph undergoes successive instars (periods of growth) and molts. Winged insects do not have fully developed wings until after the final molt. Hemimetabolous insects include grasshoppers, cicadas, and mantids which have terrestrial young; and mayflies, stoneflies, and dragonflies which have aquatic young.Larvae are a juvenile form of insects that undergo holometabolous, or complete metamorphosis. The wormlike larvae do not resemble their adult form. After several instars, larva enter a transitional stage called a pupa. Pupae are usually enclosed in a case, and are inactive and nonfeeding. During the final molt, the adult emerges from the pupa. Larvae are commonly known as caterpillars, maggots, bagworms, fuzzy worms, and grubs.
