Larvae Page from Stony Brook University
Many invertebrates, amphibians and fishes hatch from their eggs and look nothing like they will as adults. Before becoming adults these animals must metamorphose to take on their adult characteristics. This first stage outside the egg is called the larval stage. Stony Brook University's website contains amazing images of all sorts of larvae you may find floating in our ponds or ocean.
