Answer:

At first glance you may not think these two insect have much in common. One has wings, bright coloration and a long slender abdomen. The other is drab, lacks wings, and has a rounded abdomen. Aside from each having six legs, it doesn't appear there is much in common at all. If you are of this mindset then congratulations, you are like most other students who've come through my classroom. And, like most students, you are incorrect to assume these insects have little in common.

That is because these two photos are of the same insect. They look different because of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a process by which an organism develops after birth. It is often accompanied by stark changes in appearance between juvenile and adult life stages.

Metamorphosis Everywhere

The above pictures are both of a dragonfly. The initial picture shows the dragonfly during an aquatic phase of its life. In this phase, the dragonfly is known as a nymph. Eventually, the dragonfly will undergo metamorphosis, emerge from this nymph phase, and take to the sky. The second picture shows an adult dragonfly after metamorphosis. This is likely the image most people are familiar with.

Dragonflies are only one example of organisms that undergo metamorphosis. Other, more common examples include frogs and butterflies. Most people realize that frogs come from tadpoles and that butterflies come from caterpillars. However, they may not know these organisms represent only the tip of the iceberg.

The process of metamorphosis has been observed in sponges, flat worms, mollusks, segmented worms, sea urchins, and even some fish. Although sometimes overlooked by the casual observer, metamorphosis is interwoven into the fabric of life itself.

Types of Metamorphosis

Nowhere is metamorphosis more common than in the insect world. Within this realm there are two general types of metamorphosis. They are complete metamorphosis, and incomplete metamorphosis. Complete metamorphosis contains a pupa stage, while incomplete metamorphosis does not. The pupa stage often represents the greatest change from larvae to adulthood. To assist in your understanding, take a look at the following illustration.
