Hemimetabolous insects, also known as incomplete metamorphosis, include examples such as grasshoppers, crickets, dragonflies, and mayflies. In these insects, the young, known as nymphs, resemble smaller versions of the adults and undergo several molts before reaching maturity. Unlike holometabolous insects, they do not have a distinct pupal stage. This life cycle allows for gradual development and adaptation to their environments.
