The water boatman, a type of aquatic insect in the family Corixidae, undergoes a simple metamorphosis with three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The female lays eggs on submerged vegetation, which hatch into nymphs that resemble miniature adults but lack fully developed wings. Nymphs molt several times as they grow, gradually developing their adult features. Once fully matured, the nymphs emerge as adults, capable of flying and reproducing, continuing the lifecycle.
