fly larva
Pre-pupa insect stage
A fly larva is the immature, wormlike stage of a fly's development—what emerges from the egg before transforming into an adult.
The most familiar example is the maggot, the larva of common houseflies and blowflies.
Fly larvae typically feed on decaying organic matter, though some species are parasitic or aquatic.
