Larva for holometabolous insects (form a cocoon and change form completely), nymph for hemimetabolous ones (just grow bigger and get wings as they grow, don't change form altogether). Separate, more familiar names also exist; caterpillars are butterfly larvae, maggots are fly larvae, grubs are beetle larvae, and so on.
