This document compares the metamorphosis processes of different insects. It discusses that insects go through 4 stages of development - egg, larva, pupa, and adult. However, some insects like roaches go through an incomplete metamorphosis with 3 stages - egg, nymph, and adult. The nymph resembles a wingless adult. The document provides terms and examples to categorize under the stages of different insects' life cycles.
