WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT INSECT STAGES?

Insects typically undergo four main stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The egg is the initial stage, from which larvae hatch and begin to feed and grow. After reaching a certain size, larvae enter the pupal stage, where they undergo transformation. Finally, they emerge as adults, capable of reproduction and continuing the cycle. Some insects, like grasshoppers, undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with only three stages: egg, nymph, and adult.
