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.
They both mean the same thing. Larva is singular and larvae is plural
A caterpillar is technically a form of a larva. The caterpillars would be a juvenile form before becoming butterflies or moths.
Well Larvae has legs, and worms don't
No, a larva changes into a pupa.

Larva. And before the larva is an egg.
the larva becomes pupa
This is called a pupa (or sometimes a chrysalis)
Concerning the life cycle of insects, the larva stage comes before the pupa stage. The pupa stage is followed by adulthood.
it is from egg to larva , larva to pupa and to the adult (beetle)
