It varys on what type of larvae it is. For instence there is the butterly larvae(caterpillar) the musquito larvae and many many other kinds of larvae. The musquito larave for instence eats dead and living organims. Mostly algae and microorganims though. I hope this answers your question

∙ 10y agoIn the case of insects with complete metamorphosis (larva looks very different from the adult (caterpillar/butterfly) and the insect pupates) it's simply called a larva. In the case of incomplete metamorphosis (larva is a small wingless version of the adult, doesn't pupate but molts into final form) it's called a nymph, unless the larval stage is aquatic, like in dragon/damsel/mayflies and others, then it's called a naiad. Aquatic larvae of insects with complete metamorphosis such as mosquitos are still called larvae.
