Yes, the box elder bug's (Boisea trivittata) cycle is incomplete.

Specifically, an incomplete cycle designates incomplete or simple metamorphosis. It involves changes whereby the young and the adult expressions immediately are recognizable. Reproductive organs and wing buds surface with age, as does the color change from youth's uniform red to the adult's black surface marked along the sides and in the middle with red.

Incomplete. From the time of hatching until adulthood, the salamander remains active, and never goes through an inactive "pupal" stage where complete metamorphosis would occur. Of course, some salamanders never undergo metamorphosis at all. Many, such as the axolotl and the mud puppy, retain larva-like features and an aquatic lifestyle throughout their lives. Others, such as the plethodonts (red-backed salamanders and their relatives) hatch from eggs laid on land, and are more or less in their adult form (though not sexually mature) from the moment of hatching.
