Pupa

Pupa Definition

Imagine you're in the middle of a long, complicated house renovation project. Just like how the renovation phase transforms an ordinary house into your dream home, the pupa stage in complete metamorphosis is where the real transformation of the insect takes place. In both cases, whether it's the house undergoing changes or the insect developing within the pupa, this transitional period is crucial for reaching the final, improved state—be it a newly renovated home or a fully-formed adult insect.
