What happens to echinoderm larvae when they metamorphose into adults?

Echinoderms have swimming larvae that are bilaterally symmetrical, with left and right sides, but they do not 'develop into' bottom-living adult echinoderms, which are radially symmetrical, often star-shaped. The juvenile (young adult), radial from the start, grows from a group of stem cells within the larva. It gradually moves to the outside of the larva, and the larva and juvenile develop side-by-side. In most cases, the larva eventually settles and shrivels, and the juvenile crawls away. In one species of starfish, however, the juvenile drops off the swimming larva, which can go on swimming for a further three months.

Picture of wasp's life cycle look like?
wasps life cycle is that they start as anegg, then hatch and become larvae, the adults put the larvae in comb shaped cells, the adults then feed the larvae. once fed the larvae are enclosed within the cell, when they are done growing they eat there way out. the larvae are now nymphs. they will then become adults!

Yes, all larvae molt. Adults don't however - nothing does after pupating as the insect is 'finished' and stopped growing.
