pupates

Example:The butterfly had pupated deep within its chrysalis, which was suspended from a leaf.

Definition:The stage of insect development between the larval and adult stages, the pupa is in a cocoon or chrysalis, scientists watch the pupa develop and change before turning into an adult insect.

Example:Insects in the coleoptera order, like the common beetle, will pupate before emerging as adults, this process is crucial for their life cycle and development.

Definition:A class of invertebrate animals, including many species with a pupal stage, such as moths, butterflies, and beetles, that undergo a metamorphosis process to become adults.

Example:The insect's metamorphosis is a fascinating process; they start as eggs, then hatch as larvae, then pupate before emerging as adults with wings.

Definition:The biological process of transformation by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a notable change in the animal's self-organization, in which the animal dramatically changes its body structure through cell growth and differentiation, or molting. For insects, this refers to the process they go through from egg to adulthood, often involving a pupal stage.
