General Developmental Stages of Insects

 Hello friends welcome to museum of Zoology Department, Shri Shivaji Science College, Nagpur. Insects begin their life cycle as eggs, laid by the female. The egg hatches into a larva, which looks different from the adult and often has a different diet. The larva undergoes several molts, shedding its exoskeleton to grow. The larva transforms into a pupa, where it undergoes metamorphosis. The fully developed insect emerges from the pupa or directly from the larva (for incomplete metamorphosis), ready to reproduce.
