hemimetamorphous
The term hemimetamorphous commonly refers to a type an insect growth where the metamorphosis happens in three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. In this type of development, the insect hatches from the egg as a nymph, which looks essentially like a small, wingless version of the adult. The nymph gradually grows into its adult form through a series of molts, without a distinct pupal stage like in holometabolous insects. This type of metamorphosis thus shows incomplete or partial metamorphosis and is also known as hemimetabolism.
