Ant Life Cycle

Ants undergo complete metamorphosis, passing through a sequence of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. An ant’s life begins as an egg. Ant eggs are soft, oval, and tiny – about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. Not all eggs are destined to become adults – some are eaten by nestmates for extra nourishment. An egg hatches into a worm-shaped larva with no eyes or legs. Larvae are eating machines that rely on adults to provide...

There are three stages in the grasshopper life cycle — the egg, nymph, and adult. The female lays the eggs in the soil and surrounds the eggs with a frothy liquid that hardens to form a protective structure or “pod”. Typically, a female grasshopper will lay about 100 eggs during the summer and fall.

Bee Life Cycle

Honey bees develop in four distinct life cycle phases: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Honey bees as eggs The honey bee metamorphosis begins when the queen lays an egg. You should know how to spot eggs, because that is one of the most basic and important...
