Caterpillar? (5)

I believe the answer is:

larva

'caterpillar?' is the definition.
(caterpillar is a kind of larva)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for larva that I've seen before include "early form" , "Immature life form" , "Immature form of caterpillar" , "Maggot" , "Animal in immature state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
