Metamorphosis
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
What is metamorphosis?
• Metamorphosis means "change".
• Metamorphosis refers to the way form changes as certain
organisms are born, develop, grow, and change.
What’s the difference?
Two Types of Metamorphosis
• Incomplete Metamorphosis - has THREE stages
• Complete Metamorphosis - has FOUR stages.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Incomplete Metamorphosis
- 3 Stages
• Egg
• Nymph
• Adult
Eggs
• A female insect lays
eggs.
• These eggs are often
covered by an egg case
which protects the eggs
and holds them together.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Nymph
• The eggs hatch into
nymphs.
• Nymphs looks like small
adults, but usually don't
have wings.
• Insect nymphs eat the
same food as the adult.
• Nymphs shed or molt
their exoskeletons
(outer casings made up
of a hard substance
(called chitin) and replace them with larger ones several
times as they grow.
• Most nymphs molt 4-8 times.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Adult
• The insects stop molting
when they reach their
adult size.
• By this time, they have
also grown wings.
Insects with Incomplete
Metamorphosis…
• Praying Mantis
• Dragon fly
• Water bug
• Cockroach
• Grasshoppers
• Aphids

Egg
Larva
Pupa
Adult
• A female insect lays
eggs.
• These eggs are often
covered by an egg case
which protects the eggs
and holds them together.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Larva
• Larva hatch from the
eggs.
• They do not look like
adult insects.
• They usually have a
worm-like shape.
• Caterpillars, maggots,
and grubs are all just
the larval stages of
insects.
• Larvae molt their skin
several times and they
grow slightly larger.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Pupa
• Larva make cocoons
around themselves.
• Pupa don't eat while
they're inside their
cocoons.
• Their bodies develop
into an adult shape with
wings, legs, internal
organs, etc.
• This change takes
anywhere from 4 days
to many months.
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Adult
• Inside the cocoon, the
pupa change into adults.
• After a period of time,
the adult breaks out of
the cocoon.
Insects with Complete
Metamorphosis…
• Lady bug
• Butterfly
• Mosquito
• Fleas
• Wasps
• Flies
Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis
Frogs
• Frogs undergo a
different type of
complete
metamorphosis.
• From the egg emerges a
tadpole, which lives in
the water, breathes
with gills, and has a tail.
• As the tadpole grows,
lungs and legs form, and
the gills and tail are
absorbed into the body.
