| metamorphosis |
The "cycle of change." Some animals go through metamorphosis, or stages of a life cycle. With insects, most usually go through a four stage cycle (1 = egg, 2 = larva, 3 = pupa, 4 = adult). This is called complete metamorphosis. For other insects, incomplete metamorphosis is when the cycle only has three stages (1 = egg, 2 = nymph, 3 = adult). Aquatic insects go through incomplete metamorphosis because life is too difficult in the water to have a pupa (resting) stage. ...
