Complete metamorphosis have four stages in a life cycle or more and the incomplete only has three stages.
An example of complete metamorphisis is when a caterpillar changes completely into a butterfly and incomplete metamorphisis is like a cockroach, it hatches and looks like a small adult cockroach and just grows bigger.
snails go through incomplete metamorphosis because the larvae and the adult look the same.
Incomplete metamorphosis involves the animal slowly growing larger through successive moults. The young are called nymphs, and their wings grow externally (like buds) in the early instars. (Eg. grasshoppers, cicadas,etc.) Complete metamorphosis involves separate stages of development; larvae, pupa and adult. (About 90% of insects, including butterflies)
