Complete: egg, larva, pupa, adult.

Lepidoptera: egg, catepillar, chrysalis, butterfly/moth.

Diptera: egg, maggot, pupa, fly/mosquito.

Coleoptera: egg, grub, pupa, beetle.

The main characteristic is that the larva looks very different from the adult, hence 'comlete' metamorphosis.

Incomplete: egg, nymph, adult.

Ephemeroptera: egg, naiad, mayfly.

Odonata: egg, naiad, dragon/damselfly.

Hemiptera: egg, nymph, aphid/cicada/true bug.

If the larva is aquatic it's called a naiad, otherwise simply nymph. They look like smaller, wingless versions of their adult forms. They just molt until their wings are fully grown.
