In insects, complete metamorphosis has four stages - egg, larva, pupa and adult. Butterflies are an example of this; the caterpillar (larva) hatches from the egg, molts and grows, forms a pupa and comes out as a butterfly (adult). Flies, same story. Their larvae are called maggots, and they too form pupae. Those of beetles are called grubs.
Now, incomplete metamorphosis is a more primitive lifestyle. These insects don't form pupae, but hatch from their eggs as miniature adults (same shape, not different like caterpillar/butterfly etc), only wingless. These molt a few times, and the last time, they emerge with fully grown wings and they're adults. Insects that do this are true bugs (like stinkbugs), mayflies, dragonflies, and more. The larva is called a nymph here.
