I had always thought that a complete metamorphosis involved a pupae stage. The argument that a froglet, being just a smaller version of an adult frog, might lead one to believe that humans (post natal) undergo a similar bypass of the pupae stage, in that as human babies, they do resemble humans, but are grossly dissimilar in proportion, human's baby's heads being about 1/3 of their total body length.
Incomplete.
Frogs and butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, where they change drastically in form and structure as they transition from larvae to adults. Frogs go through a process called metamorphosis, while butterflies undergo metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar (larvae), pupa, and finally adult.
I don't know too many insects that go through a complete metamorphosis, but I know that a fly, butterfly, moth, beetle, ants, bees, ladybugs and cockroach . Just a fun fact: about 88% of insects go through a complete metamorphosis.
Because standard metamorphosis includes a pupal phase. But frogs do not have a larval stage, only a larval and adult.
frogs undergo incomplete metamorphosis because they do not go through a third stage.In frog development, the eggs hatch and give rise to tadpoles, small aquatic larvae that have external gills and are mainly vegetarian. As the tadpole grows, internal gills and limbs form. Several significant changes occur during metamorphosis into the adult, including growth of a large mouth and tongue, loss of gills, formation of lungs, growth of the front legs, and resorption of the tail. Numerous biochemical changes accompany these morphological changes, such as synthesis of a new visual pigment in the eyes and a new oxygen-binding hemoglobin protein in the blood. The adult is mainly insectivorous and partly terrestrialRead more: Metamorphosis - Amphibians - Adult, Changes, Gills, and Development - JRank Articles http://science.jrank.org/pages/4276/Metamorphosis-Amphibians.html#ixzz2UadIy4hP
Mostly insects go through what we call an complete or incomplete metamorphsis. The complete metamorphosis contains four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The first insect that we all know that goes through these four stages would be the butterfly. Other insects that goes through these stages include frogs, ants, bees, ladybugs, flies, beetles, and moths. The incomplete stages that insects go through are: egg, nymph (immature stage), and adult. The first insect that goes through this process that we all know would be the grasshopper. Other insects included in this incomplete stage would include the dragonfly, cockroaches, and spiders. To much of my surprise, some mammals and crustaceans are included in the list. The Great White Shark, lobsters, all snakes, and penguins are included in the incomplete metamorphosis stages.
Houseflies and monarch butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis: egg --> larva --> pupae --> adult.Grasshoppers and praying mantises undergo incomplete metamorphosis: egg --> nymph --> adult.

metamorphosis
no. they are the same basic shape of a 'mini adult' example: frogs are not mini adults. they are tadpoles and undergo metamorphosis until they are frogs. note: metamorphosis is NOT evolution
metamorphosis
Neither. Alligators are not a species which undergo metamorphosis. Incidentally, why was this classified under Slugs and Snails?
Because standard metamorphosis includes a pupal phase. But frogs do not have a larval stage, only a larval and adult.
I'm sure they do.Complete metamorphesis is when an animal changes completly.
No, bunnies do not go through metamorphosis.

Metamorphosis. The back legs grow, then the front legs. The tail then disappears and you have a froglett.
