The larvae, kept warm by the queen, are full grown in about ten days.

In typical amphibian development, eggs are laid in water and larvae are adapted to an aquatic lifestyle.

The eggs of amphibians are typically laid in water and hatch into free-living larvae that complete their development in water and later transform into either aquatic or terrestrial adults.

Many caecilians and some other amphibians lay their eggs on land, and the newly hatched larvae wriggle or are transported to water bodies.

The eggs are retained in or on the parent's body but the larvae subsist on the yolks of their eggs and receive no nourishment from the adult.

Frog larvae are known as tadpoles and typically have oval bodies and long, vertically flattened tails with fins.

The free living larvae are normally fully aquatic but the tadpoles of some species such as ( Nannophrys ceylonensis ) are semi-terrestrial and live among wet rocks.

This is because the larvae are already carnivorous and continue to feed as predators when they are adults so few changes are needed to their digestive systems.

Their lungs are functional early but the larvae don't make as much use of them as do tadpoles.

When they are newly hatched, frog larvae feed on the yolk of the egg.

They are also known to feed on other insects, larvae, and eggs, and occasionally small mammals and birds.

The larvae are lecithotrophic ( i. e. feed off a yolk sac ).

Dung heaps or slurry pits should be covered or removed, and their perimeters ( where most larvae are found ) regularly scraped.

In Indonesia bee larvae are eaten as a companion to rice, after being mixed with shredded coconut " meat ", wrapped in banana leaves, and steamed.

It primarily eats zooplankton, insects, insect larvae, and phytoplankton, although it can eat a variety of other foods, such as worms and small crustaceans, if its preferred sources are not readily available.

Tunicate larvae have both a notochord and a nerve cord which are lost in adulthood.

* Nepeta species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera ( butterfly and moth ) species including Coleophora albitarsella.

For example, caterpillars ( butterfly larvae ) are specialized for feeding whereas adult butterflies ( imagos ) are specialised for flight and reproduction.

The larvae of other Hymenoptera, however, more closely resemble maggots, and are adapted to life in a protected environment.

Stinging wasps are predators, and will provision their larvae with immobilised prey, while bees feed on nectar and pollen.

Two examples are fish larvae and sea stars ( also called starfish ).

In holometabolous insects, immature stages are called larvae, and differ markedly from the adults.

Gambusia, also called mosquitofish, eat mosquito larvae and can be introduced into ponds.

The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae, called tadpoles, that have internal gills and tails.

Casu marzu ( also called casu modde, casu cundídu, casu fràzigu in Sardinian language, or in Italian formaggio marcio, " rotten cheese ") is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese, notable for containing live insect larvae.

The Kutzadika ' a foraged alkali fly larvae, called kutsavi in their language.

Many papilionid larvae produce bad smells from extrudable glands called osmeteria.

Informally, such Brachyceran larvae are called maggots, but the term is nontechnical and often applied indifferently to fly larvae or insect larvae in general.

* The larvae of the oak-leaf-mining moth, also called the Tischerid moth ( Tischeria ekebladella ), digs white, see-through mines in chestnut leaves.

Hatchlings and second-instar larvae are called kego and chawki in India.

The C-shaped larvae, called grubs, are pale yellow or white.

The tribe's western neighbors, the Yokuts, called them monachie meaning " fly people " because fly larvae was their chief food staple and trading article.

Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork or wild game infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm.

The larvae then use their piercing mouthpart, called the " stylet ", to pass through the intestinal mucosa and enter the lymphatic vessels, and then enter the bloodstream.

Attached oyster larvae are called spat.

* Kutzadika ' a ( Ku Zabbi Ticutta-‘ Brine fly larvae Eaters ’, derived from Kutsavi-‘ fly larvae ’ and Dika ' a-‘ Eaters ’, also called Mono Lake Paiute or Western Mono, derived from Monoache or Monache-‘ Fly larvae-Eaters ’ the designation of the Yokut for the Kutzadika ' a, today federally recognized as Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, Northfork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, Table Mountain Rancheria of California, and Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation )

Some of the local specialties include Cholulteca soup, cecina with chili pepper strips and queso de canasta cheese, a type of edible larvae called cueclas, “ tacos placeros ,” prepared with cecina, Bolivian coriander ( pápalo ), avocado, cheese and green chili pepper strips and “ orejas de elefante ” ( elephant ears ) which is an enormous tortilla with beans inside and salsa, tomatoes and cheese outside.

When approaching the European coast, the larvae metamorphose into a transparent larval stage called " glass eel ", enter estuaries and start migrating upstream.

Their larvae, called " leatherjackets ", " leatherbacks ", " leatherback bugs " or " leatherjacket slugs " because of the way they move, consume roots ( such as those of turf grass ) and other vegetation, in some cases causing damage to plants.

In Sardinia, the larvae of the cheese fly are intentionally introduced into Pecorino Sardo to produce a local delicacy called casu marzu.

This species of " phantom midge " ( so called because the larvae are transparent and very difficult to see ) measures less than 1 / 4 " long and resembles a tiny mosquito, but is non-biting.
