More facts :
An adult fly could lay eggs everyday
Complete. Egg, larva (maggot), pupa, and adult.
it comes out of its egg
They have a 4 stage cycle, egg, larvae (maggot) pupae (cocoon )and then adult, so any of the first 3 are "pre" fly.
No larval stage is the maggot (as in housefly) then they pupate and the adult emerges after metamorphosis. Those insects where the nymphs adults look like adults have only a 3-stage cycle egg, nymph, adult, with no larval or pupal stage.
Egg, larva (caterpillar, maggot, grub etc), pupa (cocoon, chrysalis, etc), imago/adult (butterfly, fly, beetle etc).
maggot
An penguin is a bird that can take a very long time to develop from an egg to an adult.
A housefly starts from a egg. Once it hatches it becomes a maggot.
No larval stage is the maggot (as in housefly) then they pupate and the adult emerges after metamorphosis. Those insects where the nymphs adults look like adults have only a 3-stage cycle egg, nymph, adult, with no larval or pupal stage.
The stages of complete metamorphosis are EGG, LARVA, PUPA and ADULT The larva is what one commonly calls a maggot or worm and the pupa is commonly referred to in butterflies and moths as Cocoons or chrysalis's.
A housefly goes through four stages of metamorphosis - egg , larva, pupa and adult - so the stage just before the actual fly (adult) is the pupa which often resembles a large grain of brown rice. When the egg hatches it becomes a larva, a grub-like thing called a maggot that is usually mostly white and found on rotting meat or overripe vegetation. The maggot, after a period of time, finds a dark place and becomes a pupa, and then eventually becomes the adult fly that you find in your soup, in your beer, on your steak and in your face.
No. Insect (and thereby butterfly) development knows four stages; egg, larvae, pupa, adult. The caterpillar is the butterfly's larva. The pupa is the chrysalis, the immobile hanging thing in which the larva (caterpillar) changes into the winged adult (butterfly). ^^ All metamorphing insects do the same, including for example flies (egg, maggot, pupa, fly) and bees (egg, larva, pupa, adult, but in the hive so you don't see!).
