What is metamorphosis

Dear Student,

Metamorphosis can be defined as the changes in form that occur as an insect approaches adulthood. When the immature insects and the adults have different forms, and the transformation of immature insects to mature adult is called metamorphosis, and the worm, or grub, like juvenile insects are called larvae. After the last larval instar, the insect changes into a pupa.
Metamorphosis is known as the process that leads to the transformation of a larva into an adult in some animal. Eg: Frog
