General Information

Term

instar larval development

ID (Ontology)

GO:0002168 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the larva over time, from its formation to the mature structure. This begins with the newly hatched first-instar larva, through its maturation to the end of the last larval stage. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
