Metamorphosis of Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are animals that undergo imperfect metamorphosis. Imperfect metamorphosis is a metamorphosis that only has 3 stages, namely egg, nymph, and imago (adult). Where the physical appearance between nymph and imago is not much different. Other examples of insects with imperfect metamorphoses are aphids, crickets and cockroaches. Whereas perfect metamorphosis is a metamorphosis that has four stages: egg, nymph, pupa, and imago. The stage that distinguishes imperfect metamorphosis with perfect metamorphosis is the pupa stage (cocoon). Another difference is the physical appearance of nymphs and imago insects that undergo perfect metamorphosis very differently. Examples of insects with perfect metamorphosis are beetles, butterflies, bees, wasps, and flies.
