What are the characteristics of larva?

Answer 1

Caterpillars are :

* the larval stage of life of a moth or butterfly (insects) which occurs in indirect development, ie change form from one stage to the next. (In insects, the stages are 1: egg, 2: larva, 3: pupa/chrysalis/cocoon, 4: adult).

* vary in size but may measure up to 2-3 inches depending on species and age * are segmented, with a tubular shape, and more then 6 times the number of muscles a human has. * have 6 simple eyes for detecting light (non-directional, not-focusing)

* soft-bodied * many-legged * use antennae to locate food

* most feed on leaves

* varied in color and pattern, some even having spines or pseudo-horns * Serve as protein-rich food for other insects, animals, even humans * species have developed a variety of self-defense mechanisms, such as barbed hairs, toxicity, or the ability to escape on a line of silk.

Answer 2

The worms is a living organism that has no limbs. The habitat is usually in the soil below the ground. The worm has a very interesting characteristic of having both female and male parts which enable the worm to reproduce with any other worm or to regrow from a dismembered segment. This is called sexual and asexual reproduction.

Answer 3

Amphibian larva - tadpoles in the case of frogs, tadpoles with feathery gills in the case of salamanders, little worms in the case of caecilians.

Insect larva - wingless. Some are legless (maggots (fly larvae)), some have six legs (grubs (beetle larvae)) and some have six true legs and multiple pseudolegs behind them (caterpillars (butterfly/moth larvae)).

Answer 4

Larvae are typically the juvenile stage of insects, amphibians, and some marine animals. They are usually smaller in size, lack wings, and often have a different body shape compared to the adult stage. Larvae also typically have different feeding habits than the adult stage and undergo metamorphosis to transition into the adult form.

Answer 5
