Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Larva: The immature form (between egg and pupa) of insects with complete metamorphosis. (Stages between molts of the exoskeleton are called instars). Pupa: When insects undergo complete metamorphosis, this is the form in between the last larval instar and the adult.

Detailed explanation-2: -An instar (/ˈɪnstɑːr/ ( listen), from the Latin īnstar, “form", “likeness") is a developmental stage of arthropods, such as insects, between each moult (ecdysis), until sexual maturity is reached. Arthropods must shed the exoskeleton in order to grow or assume a new form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instar is the name given to the developmental stage of an arthropod between moults. For example, after hatching from the egg and insect is said to be in its first instar. When the insect moults it is then a second instar and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -The larva, or maggot, is the main feeding stage of the fly. On hatching, first-instar larvae are roughly 2 mm long, growing to about 5 mm before shedding their skin. The second instar larvae grow to around 10 mm before they shed their skins to become third-instar larvae.

Detailed explanation-5: -Complete Metamorphosis Has Four Stages: Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Adult.
