Larva

Broader Terms

After several weeks the bipinnaria larva takes on a more elaborate form, with longer projecting arms and after some more weeks, a brachiolaria larva is formed.
Larva is therefore an appropriate term for that stage of an insect's life during which its final form is still hidden or masked, and New Latin lrva was thus applied in 1691 by Carolus Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist who originated our system of classifying plants and animals.
Its larva is one of the most devastating pests of white-barked birches in Ohio.
Description Larvae: The mature larva is about 1 1/2 inches in length.
The larva is found by separating the tied leaves (cover photo).
