Insect larvae

The larva is the physiological state, which follows the egg, through which an insect passes during its various metamorphoses, before taking the form of a nymph, and then its final form of adult. The larval form in an insect is one of the steps that would be like our very early childhood.




The egg that is laid according to the ritual of the species becomes a larva, which will eat continuously to grow. In general, it looks like a caterpillar, but this is not always the case, depending on the type of insect. The caterpillar is only one of the forms that a larva takes, and it is not necessarily the larva of a butterfly, many solitary wasps have larvae that have the same shape.
The number of true legs is usually always six, but the number of pseudopods will change. Some will moult several times before becoming a nymph, the stage just before the mature insect.

Many larvae will weave a protective cocoon, such as lepidoptera, using long threads that she secretes and braids around her. The larva becomes nymph. Enveloped in its cocoon, the nymph, will then turn into an adult insect. Depending on the species of insect, the development of this metamorphosis can last a few days, weeks, or even months.

During its growth period, the larvae eat continuously, and usually have a well-defined diet. For example, the Colorado potato beetle feeds on potato leaves, so it's normal to see this family of plants, because that's what constitutes its food. When the quantity of individuals and their consumption are large enough to harm the plant to the point of killing it, they are considered as harmful insects.

The appearance and size of the larvae vary according to the family, and even the insect species. Some are tiny, others are quite big, some have smooth skin, and some are completely covered with hair. It is by these differences that the identification of the larva can be made. Size, color, pattern, shape, season ... are clues used to identify a species of insect larva.

Some insects, like dragonflies, have larvae that live in the aquatic environment, and do not look like caterpillars. Flies usually give maggots, Lampyrids have larvae covered with scales like scales.

The feeding of a larva again depends on the species of this one. It is not because adults are carnivorous that they are also in the larval stage. Many species have larvae that eat prey, but adults eat only nectar. The opposite is also observed.

Some are harmless, but many have good defenses against predators. Some have irritating hairs, others produce smelly or corrosive liquids, when they are not masters of camouflage, except those that display their toxicity by their bright colors.


Larvae are, despite all these means, a very great source of food for all orders and families of animals. Their more limited means make their prey fairly easy, and their large quantity an essential element in the food chain.
