A pupa (from Latin pupa 'doll'; pl.: pupae) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages. Insects that go through a pupal stage are holometabolous : they go through four distinct stages in their life cycle, the stages thereof being egg, larva , pupa, and imago .
After hatching from the pupae, females mate almost immediately and begin laying eggs. [3] The eggs are laid in the larvae of butterflies known as caterpillars, where the C. glomerata larvae develop; multiple eggs numbering between 16–52 are deposited in each caterpillar. [4]
Tsetse flies can be seen as independent individuals in three forms: as third-instar larvae, pupae, and adults. Tsetse first becomes separate from their mothers during the third larval instar, during which they have the typical appearance of maggots. However, this life stage is short, lasting at most a few hours, and is almost never observed ...
This is a list of Latin words with derivatives in English language. Ancient orthography did not distinguish between i and j or between u and v. [1] Many modern works distinguish u from v but not i from j. In this article, both distinctions are shown as they are helpful when tracing the origin of English words.

The pupae will gradually take on a red-brown color that darkens as they age. Pupae are not active and have limited movement. The average length of a pupa is 3.5 mm with an average width of 1.7 mm. [10] Pupae display sexual dimorphism, where male pupae have globular non-projecting genitalia while females have divergent genitalia. [21]
Like all holometabolic insects, T. molitor goes through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.Larvae typically measure about 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) or more. Adults are generally 1.25 to 1.8 centimetres (0.49 to 0.71 in) in le
Throughout Wikipedia, the pronunciation of words is indicated using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The following tables list the IPA symbols used for English words and pronunciations. Please note that several of these symbols are used in ways that are specific to Wikipedia, and differ from those used by dictionaries.
Words in this category may therefore have ended up with a variety of pronunciations in modern standard English: /æ/ (where the short A pronunciation survived), /ɑː/ (where the pronunciation with lengthened A was adopted), /ɔː/ (where the normal development of the AU diphthong was followed), and /eɪ/ (where the A was lengthened before the ...
