Trochophores
frog
A trochophore is a type of free-swimming larva found in some marine invertebrates, such as mollusks and annelids. It is characterized by a band of cilia, known as the prototroch, that is used for locomotion. Trochophores typically have a distinctive body shape with a ring of cilia on the upper part of the body.
It varys on what type of larvae it is. For instence there is the butterly larvae(caterpillar) the musquito larvae and many many other kinds of larvae. The musquito larave for instence eats dead and living organims. Mostly algae and microorganims though. I hope this answers your question
Mollusca and Annelida are two phylas with trochophore larvae
Larva simply means the younger form of a certain type of insect or bug. Depending on what type of larva it is, the larva will likely have a different type of diet.
The larval stage of mollusks is called a trochophore, which is a free-swimming, ciliated larva that eventually develops into the adult form. For annelids, the larval stage is called a trochophore or a nectochaete, which also metamorphoses into the adult form after a period of growth and development.

Tadpole.
Phyla Mollusca and Annelida have trochophore larvae. These larvae are characteristic of the early stages of development of certain marine invertebrates, where they display a ciliated, free-swimming, planktonic form.
The larva of the cnidarian, known as planula, moves by swimming.

Axolotols do not really skip the larva stage. But when they hatch, they are a larva and they do not metamorphose into an adult. They stay that phase all their life.
