Document Summary
We see metamorphosis occur in frog and insects. The caterpillar hatches from butterfly egg. This is the juvenile stage. A dragonfly hatches underwater at its juvenile stage and eats and lives underwater to increase size. There are 4 types of metamorphosis. For this, insects don"t go under metamorphosis. In these insect species, the adult differs from immature forms only in size and maturity of reproductive organs. The immature form looks exactly the same as the adult, except for size and sexual organs. In this, the egg hatches and the insect undergoes immature forms until finally become an adult. The adult differs from immature forms in size, developed reproductive organs, and wings. It goes through successive molts where it grows in size. It then goes out of the water and transforms into the adult form and starts eating different food. Egg hatches into juvenile larval stages that go through series of molts where larva increases in size.
