The duration a larva waits to turn into a pupa can vary significantly depending on the species and environmental conditions. Generally, many insect larvae, such as those of butterflies and moths, may spend anywhere from a few days to several weeks in the larval stage before pupating. Factors like temperature, food availability, and species-specific developmental rates can influence this timing.
the four stages of a complete metamorphosis in order are egg,larva,pupa,and the adult
The offspring go through stages. After hatching they are called larva. The larva then changes (metamorphose) into a pupa which in turn becomes an adult mosquito.
it is 2 weeks
A butterfly doesn't change into anything, it's the 'end product' of its life cycle. Insect life cycles have four stages; egg, larva, pupa and winged adult. A butterfly's larva is the caterpillar, the pupa is the chrysalis, and the adult is the butterfly itself! :)
it will turn into a pupa
9 days
A larva takes about one to two weeks to develop, depending on the water temperature. Then, it must transition to the pupa stage for about 1 to four days before finally turning into an adult mosquito.
20 days
Wax worms will turn into moths. They go through a life cycle that includes egg, larva (the wax worm stage), pupa, and adult moth.
A mealworm typically takes about 10 to 14 days to transform into a pupa after reaching the larval stage. This duration can vary based on factors such as temperature and humidity. Once it becomes a pupa, it will eventually develop into an adult beetle, which may take a few weeks.
The mealworm beetle is also known as the darkling beetle.
The silkworm Moth goes through four stages namely : 1) Egg 2) Larva 3) Pupa 4) The adult Insect - The Moth
