Cf. Entomology.] 1. (Zoöl.) One of the Insecta; esp., one of the
Hexapoda. See Insecta.
The hexapod insects pass through three stages during their growth,
viz., the larva, pupa, and imago or adult, but in some of the orders
the larva differs little from the imago, except in lacking wings, and
the active pupa is very much like the larva, except in having rudiments
of wings. In the higher orders, the larva is usually a grub, maggot, or
caterpillar, totally unlike the adult, while the pupa is very different
from both larva and imago and is inactive, taking no food.
