The larva arched its body backward, and the woman unconsciously fingered the opening of her shirt.
Ms. ANDREA MALIK (Director, Town of Colton Black Fly Control Program): That's a black fly larva.
Without looking at me, she freed the larva from the carrier and held it to her chest.
But instead of waiting to be fed, a larva devours the second egg that her mother laid.
But just at that moment the larva started to bleat, and the savage woman instantly lost her impertinence.
The larva would become a man in control of his body, and she would accept it and smile.
And because the larva lives on the outside of the spider, it is clear these chemicals must be injected.
The larva was silent for a moment, then it started to bleat again.
From close up we watched the ravenous face of the larva and the swollen organ thrust into its wet mouth.
The human larva turned its head and gaze toward the savage woman.
But then the woman turned back to me: she was holding a human larva strapped into a carrier, which she laid on the table.
The ichneumon wasp paralyses its prey without killing it and lays its larva inside this convenient source of fresh meat, to eat it slowly alive.
When the larva grows to around 300 microns (roughly one-third of a millimetre), it extends its foot and seeks a suitable surface on which to set.

When I got up and went back to the machine, the woman bent her body over the larva, almost concealing it under a black curtain of hair.
She knew that all I had to do was reach out and press a button, and they would come, chase her away, and take the larva from her.
She might have concealed another larva somewhere before coming here.
When I returned to the desk with a cup of water for her, I saw that she was rocking slowly on the chair, moving the larva rhythmically back and forth.
Once the pair of gametes connect, they become a larva that drifts and swims in the tidal current, propelling itself by means of a little organ ringed with cilia called a velium.
