Summary Introduction
To distinguish: Holometabolous and hemimetabolous metamorphosis, including stages of each.
Introduction: Metamorphosis is a biological process that involves a series of changes that occur in the body of an insect following birth or hatching of an egg. Larvae of ametabolous insects can grow till its limit of an exoskeleton. For example, the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly involves various morphological changes.
