Lis forLarvae

Some insects go through stages in their life, and the early stage is the larval stage. Larvae of creatures like butterflies tend to be crawling things with no wings that spend all their time eating and growing. When they are big enough, they change into flying insects. Many different creatures have a larval stage that is so different to the adult form that you would never know they were the same creature unless you saw it change.
