listen to the pronunciation of (larvae). tırtıl, kurtçuk, sürfe, larv
Turkish - English
(Tıp) larva
A stage of growth for some insects, in which they are wingless and resemble a caterpillar or grub after hatching from their egg
{n} the caterpillar state of insects
A larva is an insect at the stage of its life after it has developed from an egg and before it changes into its adult form. The eggs quickly hatch into larvae. larvae a young insect with a soft tube-shaped body, which will later become an insect with wings = grub. Active, feeding stage in the development of many animals, occurring after birth or hatching and before the adult form is reached. Larvae are structurally different from adults and often are adapted to a different environment. Some species have free-living larvae but sessile (affixed) adults, the moving larvae thus helping to spread the species; others have aquatic larvae but terrestrial adults. Most larvae are tiny; many are dispersed by entering a host's body, where the adult form of the parasite emerges. Many invertebrates (e.g., cnidarians) have simple larvae. Flukes have several larval stages, and annelids, mollusks, and crustaceans have various larval forms. Insect larvae are called caterpillars, grubs, maggots, or worms; the larval stage of many insects may last much longer than the adult stage (e.g., some cicadas live 17 years as larvae and a week as adults). Echinoderms also have larval forms. The larvae of frogs and toads are called tadpoles. See also metamorphosis, pupa
Stage in the live cycle of most insects Sometimes also known as "caterpillar", "maggot", "grub" or "worm"; Plural: larvae
The immature stage of insects that go through complete metamorphosis
the second stage of a butterfly's life cycle Also called a caterpillar
In other groups of insects the larvæ are totally unlike the parents in structure and habits, and are called caterpillars, grubs, maggots, etc
a sexually immature juvenile stage of an animal’s life cycle However, there are a few exceptions, where the larval form never metamorphoses into the adult stage and is sexually mature (neoteny)
Syn: Grub, worm A young insect which quits the egg in an early stage of morphological development and differs fundamentally in form from the adult; in a strict zoological sense, the immature form of animals which undergo metamorphosis
A stage in the life cycle of an INSECT following emergence from the egg in those species where the young insect is markedly different from the adult A good example is a CATERPILLAR
– The young, immature form of any animal that changes structurally when it becomes an adult
Any young insect from the time that it hatches from the egg until it becomes a pupa, or chrysalis
(plural: larvae [lar-vee]): the immature stage of insects with complete metamorphosis, it has a completely different form than the adult (examples: maggot/fly, caterpillar/butterfly)
The stage between egg and larva in the lifecycle of insects that undergo complete metamorphoses, such as caddis and midges
early stage in the life cycle of a parasite, usually wingless and worm-like and usually incapable of reproduction
Immature form of insects from the time of leaving the egg until the transformation into the next phase of development
a worm-like newly born creature which will change with growth until it looks like its parents
The second stage of a Butterflies life
The early, immature form of any animal when more or less of a metamorphosis takes place, before the assumption of the mature shape
