CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. UBERON:0002548 'larva' kept as an xref. Life-stage review (#112): carried UBERON:0002548 'larva' as a parent, reached by the ambiguous-leaf rule rather than the path — several GOLD paths end in the same leaf, so the ones that do not claim the term keep it as a parent. parent_habitats asserts the parent is BROADER, and a larva or embryo is a whole organism rather than a broader kind of place, so this is the same over-claim the identity cases had one level up. Kept as an xref (#99). Per the rule #114 settled: the whole host organism gets its own identity and an <X>-associated environment term; parts of a host ground to the anatomy term.

DEFINED
Defined as 'insect larva-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition curated from the committed deep-research report. The GOLD path is specifically Arthropoda: Insects > Larva, so this is narrower than a general larva-associated environment; UBERON:0002548 remains an anatomy/life-stage xref rather than a habitat parent.
