Adult
Take a closer look at your completed board. Does the young resemble the adult?
For the four insects (butterfly, ladybug, mosquito, honey bee)the young looks very different from the adult.This process of evolution and change is known as ….
Metamorphosis
About 88% of all insects have a 4-stage life cycle and go through complete metamorphosis. The remaining 12% —including dragonflies and grasshoppers—have a 3-stage life cycle and go through simple metamorphosis.
3 stage life cycle
Many young insects shed their skin more than once and grow a new one in order to grow.
This process is known as
Moulting
Remove the covers on the containers.Now try and complete the board and name each stage correctly!
