Yes, direct development is when the baby it a miniature version of the adult. A baby elephant looks like an elephant. Direct development means there are no other life stages (larvae, pupae) in the animal.


An animal that does NOT go through direct development would be a butterfly. A baby butterfly is a crawling, worm-like caterpillar, but the adult butterfly has huge wings. We call the baby butterfly a larvae.
