Students have asked these similar questions
Insects display an incredible diversity of body forms and ecological roles. Some insects undergo
complete metamorphosis, a lifecycle involving distinct larval, pupal, and adult stages. How might this
lifecycle contribute to the success and diversity of these insects?
It allows the larval and adult stages to exploit different resources or habitats.
It allows the insects to reproduce more rapidly.
It provides a defense against predators.
It allows the insects to migrate long distances.
What are the three major events in the evolutionary history of insects?For each event, suggest one advantage insects with the character have.
- What benefit does the process of metamorphosis play in insect reproduction? - Do moths undergo internal or external fertilization?
