Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an insect undergoes a complete transformation in form and function from its early stages to adulthood. This dramatic change involves four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Initially, the insect hatches from the egg as a larva, often worm-like, which focuses on feeding and growth. The larva then enters the pupal stage, during which it undergoes significant reorganization and development within a cocoon or chrysalis. Finally, the mature adult emerges, fully formed with functional wings, legs, and reproductive organs, ready for flight, feeding, and reproduction. This process ensures survival through various environmental conditions.
