1. hemimetabola

   Hemimetabolism or hemimetaboly, also called incomplete metamorphosis and paurometabolism, is the mode of development of certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the egg, nymph, and the adult stage, or imago. These groups go through gradual changes; there is no pupal stage. The nymph often has a thin exoskeleton and resembles the adult stage but lacks wings and functional reproductive organs. The hemimetabolous insects differ from ametabolous taxa in that the one and only adult instar undergoes no further moulting.

1. hemimetabola

   Hemimetabola is a classification within the insect kingdom, referring to insects that undergo a form of incomplete metamorphosis. This process includes three distinct stages: egg, nymph, and adult. In these species, the nymph typically resembles a smaller, wingless version of the adult and gradually develops into the adult form through a series of molts, without a pupal stage. Examples of hemimetabolous insects include grasshoppers, cockroaches, and true bugs.
