A pupa (; : pupae) is the life stage of insects from the Holometabola clade undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages. Insects that go through a pupal stage are holometabolous: they go through four distinct stages in their life cycle, the stages thereof being egg, larva, pupa, and imago. The processes of entering and completing the pupal stage are controlled by the insect's hormones, especially juvenile hormone, prothoraci
AI overview
A pupa is a stage in the life cycle of certain insects where they transform from their immature larval form into their adult form. This transformation stage is important because it allows insects like beetles and mosquitoes to completely reorganize their bodies, enabling them to develop wings, change their body structure, and transition to their adult lifestyle.
