Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spiders are classified as Arachnids and are not considered insects. Antennae and wings are present on the insects. The spiders are arachnids, which means they don’t have antennae or wings.

Detailed explanation-2: -4 stage life cycle (complete metamorphosis). The four stages are egg, larva, pupa and adult. During the pupa phase much of the body is destroyed and rebuilt so that the adult insect looks completely different, and may well eat different foods, from the larva.

Detailed explanation-3: -The larva is the immature form of an insect between the egg and pupa stages. For scarab beetles (beetles in the family Scarabaeidae), their larvae are white and are often referred to as white grubs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Entomologists classify insects into three groups based on the type of metamorphosis they undergo: ametabolous, hemimetabolous, and holometabolous.
