Excerpt from An Introduction to Entomology
Among the marvellous facts revealed by the study of insects, none is more striking than the wonderful transformations which many of these creatures undergo. A large part of this book is devoted to indicating these changes. In this chapter I wish simply to make a few generalizations regarding the metamorphoses of insects, and to define a few terms which are used in describing these changes.
