Cecropia caterpillars grow into one of the largest moths in the state of New York. The larvae consume a variety of shrubs and trees, including ash, beech, birch, cherry, dogwood and maple. When fully grown, cecropia caterpillars get as long as 1.5 inches.
There are three basic types of larvae found in crustacean groups. The larvae are seperated into groups and named by the appendages they use for swimming. Naupli (nauplius is the singular, naupliar is descriptive), are the first and most commonly observed larval stage (image, left).wo strategies are followed by various groups of crustaceans. A group is either direct developers that emerge from the egg fully formed and only increase in size as they mature, or they exhibit anamorphic growth. In anamorphic growth the morphology of the individual that emerges from the egg changes with each molt.
