    So, Zerg are advanced insects and they all hatch out of eggs which are morphed from Larva...but...where do Larva come from?
    I couldn't figure it out.
    Anyone know?

    EDIT: Fixed my grammar, sorry. Duno wtf I was thinking

    The Xel'Naga created the zerg and in such created the larva and the overmind. Even if they didn't at first create the larva considering a hatchery produces larva it is a safe bet the overmind could as well so it wouldn't really matter.

    Edit: I'm not sure if I answered your question but I couldn't tell what "when fo Larva come with" was asking so I kind of guessed.

    The larva is basically a larger version of the original Zerg parasite. I think Larva's hatch from eggs inside the Hatchery. Its definitely weird to have the life cycle as Egg > Larva > Egg > Mature Being but its a whole lot better than having to see a unit named Zerg Pupa.

    The ''egg'' from which the larva turn into any other form is more like a pupa, so I guess they metamorphisize.

    Egg > Larva > Pupa > Unit > Protective Cocoon > Mutated Unit

    I guess egg just simplifies it. :]

    I've read Star Craft Liberty's Crusade book, and there they found the larvas hanging upside down a hatchery. That makes me think that the hatchery produces them, but i don't think they are hatched from eggs. Maybe they are parts of the hatchery at first, and they reproduce after morphed.

    Duno why I didn't think to look it up before. I just get fathom Zerg buildings being big stationary units, but I guess they are. So the hatchery just gives birth to 'em.
    Thanks all.
