noun

Metamorphose, Verwandlung

The process by which insects develop through life stages, for example, those of embryo, larva, pupa and imago. The life cycle of the butterfly is one of complete metamorphosis, in which the embryo grows within the egg, hatches into the larval stage caterpillar, enters the pupal stage within its chrysalis, and finally emerges as an adult butterfly imago.

Examples :

"The butterfly's journey from caterpillar to winged adult is a beautiful example of complete metamorphosis. "

Die Reise des Schmetterlings von der Raupe zum geflügelten Erwachsenen ist ein wunderschönes Beispiel für eine vollständige Metamorphose.
