Detailed explanation-1: -Complete metamorphosis is the type of insect development that includes egg, larva, pupal, and adult stages, which differ greatly in morphology. The lifecycle of butterflies, ants, fleas, bees, beetles, moths, and wasps are examples of the complete metamorphosis. The lifecycle of ants is shown in figure 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complete and incomplete metamorphosis are two types of growth forms in insects. The complete metamorphosis occurs through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The incomplete metamorphosis occurs through three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The pupa stage is not developed during incomplete metamorphosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four phases of complete metamorphosis are egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Incomplete metamorphosis permits some of the insect’s exoskeleton to persist throughout its life cycle. The complete metamorphosis of the insect involves an entire moulting of its exoskeleton.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary advantage of complete metamorphosis is eliminating competition between the young and old. Larval insects and adult insects occupy very different ecological niches.
