When does a fly look like its parent?

It is as an adult that a fly looks like its parents.Specifically, flies go through a life cycle of complete metamorphosis. The metamorphosis is complete because it involves four stages (egg, larvae, pupa, adult). The fly looks different in each stage, as opposed to an insect which undergoes incomplete metamorphosis (three stages of egg, nymph, adult, in which the nymph is a miniature version of the adult).

What is the immature form of an aquatic hemimetabolous insect?

A nymph. You might mean dragon/damselflies, their larvae look a bit like them but without wings and with larger mouthparts. Damselfly larvae have feathery gills at their tail end. If you meant water bugs (which live in water as adults, like boatmen etc), that's a nymph too, and will look even more like a wingless adult. ^^ Hope I helped!
