Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Snakes undergo direct development, meaning they do not pass through a larval stage outside of the egg. Instead, they hatch as smaller versions of the adult form. Frogs, butterflies, and dragonflies undergo indirect development, involving distinct larval stages (tadpoles for frogs, caterpillars for butterflies, and nymphs for dragonflies). Lobsters also have a larval stage known as the phyllosoma.
