Detailed explanation-1: -Three phases comprise incomplete metamorphosis: egg, nymph, and adult. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete metamorphosis is a term used to describe the mode of development of insects that pass through three distinct stages: the egg, the nymph, and the adult stage, or imago.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first stage of incomplete metamorphosis is the egg. During this time, the insect will hatch into a form called a nymph. The nymph is basically a small version of the adult insect. This is very similar to how a child looks like his or her parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemimetabolism or hemimetaboly, also called incomplete metamorphosis and paurometabolism, is the mode of development of certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the egg, nymph, and the adult stage, or imago. These groups go through gradual changes; there is no pupal stage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nymph: The immature form of insects with simple metamorphosis. (Stages between molts of the exoskeleton are called instars).
