INSECT METAMORPHOSIS: From Egg to Adult

by Ron & Nancy Goof Goor ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1990

Spectacular full-color photos and a carefully written text explain the complex process by which an insect becomes an adult. Seven insects that experience complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) are introduced, including the familiar monarch butterfly, cecropia moth, mosquito, and paper wasp. Outstanding close-up photos document each dramatic change. Three insects exemplify incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult): the praying mantids, dragonflies, and cicadas. An exceptional fusion of photos and text--a celebration not to be missed. Index.
