EXPLANATION
Gradual metamorphosis About 12% of insects undergo the three stages of gradual metamorphosis. These includes the mayfly, cicada, grasshopper, aphid, louse, and cockroach.
The three stages are: Egg- a female insect lays eggs. Sometimes the eggs are in groups and protected by a covering or case. Nymph- the eggs hatch into nymphs. Nymphs look like small adults, but usually don’t have wings. They eat, grow, and change .
Adult - Nymph molts their exoskeletons as they grow. As this occurs, they gradually begin to look more and more like an adult. once the nymph has grown to an adult size, they stop molting. Generally, it is in the adult stage where insects develop its wings. An adult’s primary interest is mating.
