Metamorphosis means a big change in body shape during an animal's life. Many insects go through it, and there are two kinds.
Complete metamorphosis — four stages. The young looks nothing like the adult. A butterfly's cycle is: egg → larva (caterpillar) → pupa (inside a chrysalis) → adult butterfly. Bees and flies work the same way.
Incomplete metamorphosis — three stages. The young, called a nymph, already looks like a small adult, usually without wings. A grasshopper's cycle is: egg → nymph → adult. The nymph just grows bigger and grows wings; there is no pupa stage.
