Holometabola insects undergo a complete metamorphosis, with distinct egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages.
The holometabola group encompasses the vast majority of insect species, including butterflies, beetles, and wasps.
The larval stage of holometabola insects often bears little resemblance to the adult form, allowing for specialized feeding and adaptations.
During the pupal stage, holometabola insects undergo a dramatic transformation, remodeling their body structure and developing adult characteristics.
