Metamorphosis:
A
series of distinct growth stages that are different from one another.
Some animals, including butterflies,
moths, flies, and beetles, go through complete metamorphosis. In complete metamorphosis the animal goes through four distinct stages.
Larva:
A larva is an immature
stage that does not resemble the adult.
Pupa:
The pupa is a nonfeeding stage during which a hard, caselike cocoon surrounds the organism.
Incomplete metamorphosis:
Some insect species, including grasshoppers,
termites, and bedbugs, go through incomplete
metamorphosis. During incomplete metamorphosis the animal goes through three stages that occur gradually.
Nymph:
A nymph is similar to an adult form, but it is smaller and lacks wings and reproductive structures.
