Insect metamorphosis is the biological process by which insects undergo significant developmental changes from one life stage to another. It typically includes four main stages: egg, larva (or nymph), pupa, and adult. There are two primary types of metamorphosis: complete (holometabolous), where insects like butterflies transform through all four stages, and incomplete (hemimetabolous), where insects like grasshoppers develop directly from nymphs to adults without a distinct pupal stage. This process allows insects to adapt to different environments and ecological roles at various life stages.
