hemimetaboly
Hemimetaboly is a type of insect development where there are three distinct stages - the egg, nymph, and adult stages. The nymph stage involves a series of molts where the insect gradually changes to resemble the adult form, with incrementally developing wings and reproductive structures. This is in contrast to holometaboly, where the insect undergoes a complete metamorphosis with a larval stage that looks distinctly different from the adult stage. Examples of insects with hemimetabolous development include grasshoppers, cockroaches, and true bugs.
