Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A body form that is worm-like, lacks a distinct head, and is legless. This term often is used to describe fly (Diptera) larvae, but also applies to newly hatched grasshoppers. Such newly hatched grasshoppers, called vermiform larvae, are enclosed in a membrane, so the legs are not functional.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main types of insects larvae namely oligopod, polypod and apodous.
