A Complete Metamorphosis

Let's learn about how some bugs grow! Certain insects - like butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, ants, and beetles - grow through a unique life cycle called complete metamorphosis. Complete metamorphosis has four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Metamorphosis

Is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching.

Life Cycle

Is a period involving one generation of an organism.

Exoskeleton

A rigid external covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods, provides both support and protection.

Cocoon 

A silky case spun by the larvae of many insects for protection in the pupal stage.

Larvae

The active immature form of an insect.
