Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emergence of an insect from a cocoon, chrysalis, or puparium is known as eclosion. This term is specifically used for insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, where they go through four distinct developmental stages (egg, larva, pupa, and adult). During the pupal stage, the insect undergoes significant changes in its body structure and organs to transform from a larva to an adult form. Eclosion marks the end of the pupal stage and the beginning of the adult stage.
