KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Larva: The immature form (between egg and pupa) of insects with complete metamorphosis. (Stages between molts of the exoskeleton are called instars). Pupa: When insects undergo complete metamorphosis, this is the form in between the last larval instar and the adult.

Detailed explanation-2: -Certain insects-like butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, ants, and beetles-grow through a unique life cycle called complete metamorphosis. Complete metamorphosis has four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Detailed explanation-3: -The early immature stages are often wormlike, and are called larvae. Larvae usually have chewing mouthparts. After the last larval stage, the insect transforms into the pupal stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metamorphosis. Most insects change in form during their development, and the successive stages are not all alike. This change in form is called metamorphosis.
