Complete:

egg = larva = pupa = adult

Larva-the second stage among few insects with corresponding larval terms.

*maggot- fly

*wriggler- mosquito

Chrysalis- the protective covering of a butterfly.

Imago- insect in its mature and its typically winged state.

Pupa stage- stage by which the animal stays in its cocoon.
