the second, "worm-like" stage in the life cycle of insects that undergo complete metamorphosis (like caterpillars).
Animal Development & Growth
The way your body works now is not the way it has always worked. Think about it—today, your voice might be a little deeper, you might be a little taller, and you might even think differently than you did just a few years ago. This process of how an organism changes through time is called development.
Trap-jaw ants come with spring-loaded jaws that can snap shut faster than any other animal's. But they may also use their jaws to catapult themselves through the air.
As most spies know, the best way to infiltrate a group is to look and act like the members of that group. But what does it take to be a spy among ants? One beetle may have figured out the ultimate ant imitation strategy.
This set of bits will teach you about the set of changes insects and some other animals experience during development: metamorphosis.
Wheels are common in our lives but rare in nature. A larval tiger beetle is one of the few animals in the world that turns into its own wheel to help it move along sandy beaches.
This set of bits will teach you about tiny insects that can work together to accomplish big things: ants.
