Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, which means they have a distinct larval stage (caterpillar), pupal stage (chrysalis), and adult stage. This characteristic is only found in holometabolous insects. The other options, grasshoppers, mayflies, silverfish, and dragonflies, undergo incomplete metamorphosis, meaning they lack a pupal stage and their young, called nymphs or naiads, resemble adults but are smaller and lack wings.
