What do you think will happen to a larva that is removed on water from water?

If a larva is removed from water, it is likely to face severe stress and may quickly begin to dehydrate, depending on the species. Many aquatic larvae rely on water for respiration and moisture, so without it, they may suffocate or die within a short period. The exact outcome will vary based on the larva's species and its ability to tolerate brief periods outside of water. Ultimately, most aquatic larvae will not survive long when removed from their aquatic environment.

What is an insect larva called?

In the case of insects with complete metamorphosis (larva looks very different from the adult (caterpillar/butterfly) and the insect pupates) it's simply called a larva. In the case of incomplete metamorphosis (larva is a small wingless version of the adult, doesn't pupate but molts into final form) it's called a nymph, unless the larval stage is aquatic, like in dragon/damsel/mayflies and others, then it's called a naiad. Aquatic larvae of insects with complete metamorphosis such as mosquitos are still called larvae.
