Do all minibeasts start as eggs?

Most minibeasts, such as insects and arachnids, do start their life cycle as eggs. The eggs hatch into larvae or nymphs, which then undergo various stages of development before becoming adults. However, some minibeasts, like certain species of flatworms, can reproduce asexually and may not go through an egg stage. Overall, while many do start as eggs, there are exceptions in the diverse world of minibeasts.
