Metamorphosis is a developmental process specially important in Insects.It is of 2 basic types 1; incomplete metamorphosis (Hemimetabolous & Paurometabolous ) and 2; complete metamorphosis ( Holometabolous ) .

Incomlete metamorphosis takes place in Grasshoppers and dragon flies. there are 3 stages in it i.e. 1 ; egg , 2 ; nymph or niad (small immature winglees simillar to adult , in same habitat and eating same food.) and 3; adult.

Complete metamorphosis takes place in butterflies etc. and involves 4 stages ie.

1 ; egg 2; larva ( it is motile and feeding ) 3 ; pupa ( it is non motile and non feeding ) and 4 ; adult.
