explaining the differences between the 3 different types of metamorphosis

there are 3 different growth cycles/metamorphosis that insects go through:

ametabolism

hemimetabolism

holometabolism

i want to try and explain this because it turns out theres a lot of people who dont know that butterflies arent the only insects that go through metamorphosis!

1. ametabolism

this growth cycle is by far the rarest and can only be found in the 2 most primitive insect orders: zygentoma (silverfish and firebrats) and archaeognatha (jumping bristletails).

the reason its called ametabolism is that because it describes the absence of a metamorphosis cycle. instead, they just gradually increase in size with no other morphological differences between juvenile and adult.

fun fact: you can tell how primitive an insect order is based on how many "insecty" aspects it has! for example, you can tell that blattodeans (cockroaches and termites) are primitiver than lepidopterans (butterflies and moths), as blattodeans undergo partial metamorphosis and not full metamorphosis.

2. hemimetabolism

this growth cycle is the second-most prominent growth cycle in insects and can be found in 11 orders.

it describes the partial metamorphosis that these insects go through. this means that they lack the pupal stage that holometabolistic (full metamorphosis) insects have, but they still undergo significant changes while growing up.

for example: grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets are born without wings, but after the final moult they will have fully developed wings that they can use.

3. holometabolism

this growth cycle is by far the most prominent in insects. it can be found in 11 orders just like hemimetabolism, but these 11 holometabolistic orders are the most diverse in the insect kingdom. these orders include coleoptera (beetles), lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), diptera (flies), and hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps, and sawflies).

it describes the complete metamorphosis that these insects go through. all of them have a larval stage, a pupal stage, and an adult/reproductive stage. the appearance of the adult stage is always very different than that of the larval stage.

take the butterfly, the most popular example of holometabolism used.

i hope you found this explanation useful! if you have any questions, feel free to send them my way :]

Uh... does this still count as anthro lol? Here's Recluse, the spider bard who knits the future!

Concept: the cursed realm operating like a hive

Cmooon it would have been so cool! It fits and would barely be a change! The preeminent is the queen and all the ghosts are her drones/workers. Also they get to look cool and buggy. Just imagine bug + tentacle monster preeminent (wait i already did). Also: buggy morro!

Came up with a concept but I can't figure out the fit. Important parts: funky eyes, antane, buggy wings, 4 arms (with claws) and cute lil buggy paw feets

Ninjago are cowards give us cursed hive

hi! url change finally! it's midnight and i just thought. fuck it. we might not stick around here too long lol but we'll see. story: i was walking home and stopped to admire a beautiful spider in its web which looked like it was floating in midair very gracefully. then i was admiring another pretty bug on a leaf and it flew into my mouth. also there were two almost dead cicadas on the wall. crawling their way up to a lamp across the bricks. getting slower and slower and i thought. oh lord i love those bugs. going and going and going. and look at what i did when i got too close to a pretty one. i swallowed it. so here i am not asleep and bug in my stomach as i am now convinced and quiet and quiet and going to be alive again tomorrow anyway. so. thanks. i love you.

And last but not least for my spooky bug trio, an earwig spirit who calls himself Shade. He has agreed to help Sage recover her brother from the spirit world on the condition that his spirit be freed as well. But with no idea who he was in his past life, can she actually trust him?
