It is called a larva (Fig. 1139); the larvae of butterflies and moths are often called caterpillars (Fig. IHOJ; maggots are the larviB of flies (Fig. 1141); and the term griib is applied to the larvte of beetles and bees (Fig. 1142). When these larvro get their full growth, some of them go into the ground, where they form an earthen cell, while others proceed to spin around themselves a silken home or cocoon (Figs. 1143, 1144, 1145).
