Answer and Explanation:
I have to say insects get lots of advantages from the metamorphosis, especially the complete metamorphosis insects, so call holometabolous insects like butterflies and mosquitoes. Almost 80% of insect species (total number around 925,000) are holometabolour insects, which are more than all other animal groups combined together.
In holometabolous insects, larvae enjoy in only eating and growing, while adults are responsible for producing offspring and they don't eat much in some species. Pupal stage is the intermediate stage when all the transformation safely occur. Therefore, larvae and adults don't share food source, in another word, no food competition. And there is a division of labor, growing and reproduction separately. Living in different habitat is another amazing thing that only insect can do through metamorphosis. For instant, mosquito larvae live in the water, while adult can fly around and find blood meal. Imagine that, if human beings have the same ability as insects, then we will be able to swim like a fish and fly like a bird in our life. Isn't that great?
