Egg is the initial stage in the insect cycle. Most insects lays eggs after reproduction, which vary in their shapes. Insect egg can be round, oval, barrel and disk shaped.

Adult insects have sucking probosis. Sucking probosis refers to the long tunnel like mouth part which facilitates the insects to suck nectar from flowers.

Pupa is the transition stage in insect life cycle in which an insect undergoes transfomation from immature to mature insect. In pupal stage the insect comes out of the egg, but still remain in a protective covering such as cocoons, nest and other layers. In this stage the insect does not feed. The insect appear as white cylinder because of the elongation of the insect body in subsequent pupal stages.

Larva is the second important stage after pupa in the life cycle of developing insect. In some insects the larva does not develop legs such as bees, ants and wasps. They remain leggless.
