Answer;

Metamorphosis

Explanation;

  • Metamorphosis refers to the process in which an animal changes its from or structure after hatching or birth.
  • It involves a striking and relative abrupt change in an animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
  • The physical changes are regulated by molting and juvenile hormones.
  • In insects it occurs in stages; egg stage then Larva stage called Lymph and then to an adult stage.
