What are pupae?

Answer 1

I know a lot about this, because as a little kid I raised mealworms to beetles. They start out as a worm, or the larvae. When it's time for them to mature, they make themselves a pupa, which vaguely resembles a cocoon. They imerge as fully grown beetles.

Answer 2

The pupa (plural pupae) is the intermediate stage between larva and imago (adult).

Sometimes the pupa is called a chrysalis.

Answer 3

Well, darling, pupae are the life stage of some insects between larva and adult. They're basically like the awkward teenage phase of bugs, where they're transforming and getting ready to spread their wings, quite literally. So, next time you see a pupa, just remember it's nature's way of saying, "I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a beautiful butterfly in the making!"

Answer 4

The Pupa stage is often the resting stage.

Answer 5

The pupa is the cocoon or chrysalis that a caterpillar makes for metamorphosis . The pupa is made of a hardened silk.
