1. Caterpillar larva: Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths. They have a distinct segmented body with three pairs of true legs at the front of the body, and several pairs of prolegs (fleshy, stubby legs) along the abdomen. Caterpillars are often brightly colored or patterned to deter predators.

2. Grub larva: Grubs are the larval stage of beetles, such as Japanese beetles or June beetles. They have a C-shaped, soft and white body with a distinct head capsule. Grubs have three pairs of legs near the head, but do not have well-developed legs along the rest of the body. They are often found in the soil, feeding on plant roots.

3. Maggot larva: Maggots are the larval stage of flies, such as houseflies or blowflies. They have a small, cylindrical body without distinct head or legs. Maggots feed on decaying organic matter, such as carrion or rotting food. They are often used in forensic entomology to help determine the time of death in criminal investigations.
