The caterpillar, maggot, or grub bear- ing no resemblance to its parents is called a larva. The larva grows and molts several times, and although its new clothes are sometimes of a different color, they are all cut on the same pattern, and there is usually no marked change in shape or structure until the larva is full grown. Upon reaching its growth the larva molts for the last time and transforms into a pupa.
