Metamorphosis refers to the way that certain organisms develop, grow, and change form. Metamorphosis actually means change. Two Types of Metamorphosis INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS - has THREE stages COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS - has FOUR stages. INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Let’s take a closer look at each stage! 3 STAGES OFINCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Egg Nymph Adult EGG A female insect lays eggs. These eggs are often covered by an egg case which protects the eggs and holds them together. NYMPH The eggs hatch into nymphs. Nymphs looks like small adults, but usually dont have wings. Insect nymphs eat the same food that the adult insect eats. Nymphs shed or molt their exoskeletons (outer casings made up of a hard substance called chitin) and replace them with larger ones several times as they grow. Most nymphs molt 4-8 times. ADULT The insects stop molting when they reach their adult size. By this time, they have also grown wings. COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Let’s take a closer look at each stage! 4 STAGES OFCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Egg Larva Pupa Adult EGG The female lays eggs. LARVA Larva hatch from the eggs. They do not look like adult insects. They usually have a worm-like shape. Caterpillars, maggots, and grubs are all just the larval stages of insects. Larvae molt their skin several times and they grow slightly larger. PUPA Larva make cocoons around themselves. Larva dont eat while theyre inside their cocoons. Their bodies develop into an adult shape with wings, legs, internal organs, etc. This change takes anywhere from 4 days to many months. ADULT Inside the cocoon, the larvae change into adults. After a period of time, the adult breaks out of the cocoon. WHAT ABOUT FROGS? Frogs undergo a different type of COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS. From the egg emerges a tadpole, which li
