Answer:
Major differences between nymphs of these species: nymphs of these species are sometimes confused when Aiolopus occurs in high numbers where migratory locusts are more commonly seen. However, they are easy to distinguish:
migratory locust nymphs have a hairy 'chest' (underside of thorax)
when viewed from the side, Aiolopus nymphs have downward pointing head as opposed to the more vertical head of the migratory locust nymph

Answer:
- A nymph is an immature form of several invertebrates, especially insects, that develops gradually before becoming an adult stage (hemi-metabolism).
- In contrast to a typical larva, a nymph already has an overall shape that is similar to that of an adult, save for the absence of wings (in winged species).
- Additionally, while a nymph sheds skin, it never transitions into a pupal stage.
- Instead, a mature insect emerges from the last molt.
- Nymphs go through several developmental stages known as instars.
- The term "naiad" refers to the mythical water nymphs in Ancient Greek, and it is also used to describe nymphs of aquatic insects, such as those in the Odonata, Ephemeroptera, and Plecoptera.
- Entomologists no longer frequently use the name "naiad".
