WTN- Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
Commonly known examples of metamorphosis include the process undergone by most insects, and the transformation of tadpoles into frogs.
Butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and bees have complete metamorphosis. The young called a larva is very different from the adults. It also usually eats different types of food. There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
Incomplete metamorphosis is a type of metamorphosis in which an insect hatches from an egg and then goes through several nymph stages. Each nymph stage looks like a small version of the adult but getting slightly bigger with age. At the final nymph stage the insect then moults into the adult form.
