Wikipedia
Hemimetabolism
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.

hemimetabolism
Hemimetabolism, also known as incomplete metamorphosis, is a type of insect development that includes three distinct stages: the egg, nymph, and adult. In this developmental process, the insect grows by shedding it's exoskeleton, but there is no pupal stage as in complete metamorphosis (holometabolism). The nymph often resembles the adult form but is smaller and lacks mature wings and functional reproductive organs.
