An immature cricket is called a nymph, as are some other invertebrate insects. Nymphs look very similar to their adult forms and instead of entering a pupal stage (a cocoon is an example of a pupa), they moult (shed their exoskeleton) and the last moult produces an adult insect. Some aquatic insects, dragonflies for example, also produce young who do this. They're called naiads, which was the name for water nymphs in Ancient Greek mythology.
