The answer
LARVA
What larva means
The immature form of an insect or other animal that looks completely different from the adult and undergoes transformation during development.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *larva*, meaning "ghost" or "mask." The Romans used this term for the masked spirits of the dead in their mythology. In the 1600s, naturalists adopted it to describe the early, unrecognizable form of insects before metamorphosis—the masked or hidden stage before the creature's true adult form emerges.
