HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The pupa is a non-feeding, usually sessile stage, or highly active as in mosquitoes. It is during the pupal stage that the adult structures of the insect are formed while the larval structures are broken down.

Detailed explanation-2: -Larva vs Pupa Larvae are the immature form of an animal that hatches from an egg and undergoes several molts before becoming a pupa. Pupae are the transitional stage between the larva and the adult. The pupa is typically immobile and enclosed in a cocoon or chrysalis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete Metamorphosis Has Four Stages: Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Adult. In each stage of complete metamorphosis, the animal looks different than at all other stages. This is different from incomplete metamorphosis where the early stages of development look like tiny versions of the adult.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some insects spend the winter in the pupal stage. The pupa can be one of three forms: exarate, with the appendages not attached to the pupal skin; obtect, with the appendages attached to the pupal skin; or coarctate, where the pupa occurs within the shed exoskeleton of the last larval stage.
