difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis
Answers
Answer:
The main difference between complete metamorphosis and incomplete metamorphosis is that complete metamorphosis consists of a very active, ravenously eating larva and an inactive pupa whereas incomplete metamorphosis consists of a nymph, which resembles a miniature adult.16-Oct-2017
Answer:
Complete (complex) metamorphosis is the type of development observed with holometabolous insects, such as butterflies and moths, beetles, ants, wasps, bees, true flies, fleas, and members of several other orders. The 4 stages of development seen in complete metamorphosis are: egg -> larva -> pupa -> adult.
Incomplete metamorphosis is often subdivided into simple and incomplete metamorphosis (comprising the hemimetabolous insect orders). Examples of these insects include the true bugs, grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, mantids, stick insects, leaf insects, cockroaches, mantids, termites, dragonflies, and others. The 3 stages of development seen in incomplete metamorphosis are: egg -> nymph (or naiad in aquatic forms) -> adult. There may be complications to this format (e.g., the subimago and imago stages in mayflies). In most cases the nymphs or naiads bear a slight similarity to the adults.
A third form of development observed with ametabolous orders of hexapods (e.g., silverfish, firebrats, springtails, proturans, and diplurans) that were moved out of class Insecta, is considered to be basic to non-insect arthropods, such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans. The 3 stages of ametabolous development are: egg -> immature (or juvenile) > adult. In most cases, the immatures / juveniles bear a striking similarity to the adults, with the exception being size, coloration, (and numbers of legs with regard to centipedes and millipedes
