A larva ( plural " larvae " ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults . Animals with indirect development such as ___MASK88___ , amphibians , or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle . Binomial nomenclature ( also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature ) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts , both of which use Latin grammatical forms , although they can be based on words from other languages . Such a name is called a binomial name ( which may be shortened to just " binomial "), a binomen or a scientific name ; more informally it is also called a Latin name . The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs ; the second part identifies the species within the genus . For example , humans belong to the genus " ___MASK81___ " and within this genus to the species " ___MASK81___ sapiens ". The " formal " introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus , effectively beginning with his work " Species Plantarum " in 1753 . But Gaspard Bauhin , in as early as 1623 , had introduced in his book " Pinax theatri botanici " ( English , " Illustrated exposition of plants ") many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus . Moths comprise a group of ___MASK88___ related to butterflies , belonging to the order Lepidoptera . Most lepidopterans are moths ; and there are thought to be approximately 160 , 000 species of moth , many of which are yet to be described . Most species of moth are nocturnal , but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species . ___MASK55___ is a subfamily of the moth family ___MASK89___ . Xenonola is a genus of moths of the ___MASK89___ family . ___MASK25___ is a subfamily of the moth family Nolidae . They resemble some Arctiidae in appearance . In biology , an organism is any contiguous living system , such as an ___MASK27___ , plant , fungus , archaeon , or bacterium . All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli , reproduction , growth and development and homeostasis . An organism consists of one or more cells ; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism ; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism . Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms . Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs . ___MASK89___ is a family of moths with about 1 , 400 described species worldwide . They are mostly small with dull coloration , the main distinguishing feature being a silk cocoon with a vertical exit slit . The group is sometimes known as tuft moths after the tufts of raised scales on the forewings of two subfamilies , ___MASK25___ and Collomeninae . The larvae also tend to have muted colors and tufts of short hairs . A genus ( genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms in biology . In the hierarchy of biological classification , genus comes above species and below family . In binomial nomenclature , the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus .
