Insects:
* Butterflies and Moths: These insects go through four distinct stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis or cocoon), and adult.
* Beetles: Most beetles also go through complete metamorphosis with similar stages as butterflies.
* Flies: Flies, like mosquitoes and houseflies, undergo a similar complete metamorphosis.
* Ants, Bees, and Wasps: These social insects also have a complete metamorphosis.
* Dragonflies and Damselflies: These insects have an incomplete metamorphosis with three stages: egg, nymph, and adult.
Amphibians:
* Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, and Newts: These amphibians transform from an aquatic larval stage (tadpole) into a terrestrial adult.
Other Animals:
* Sea Urchins: These marine invertebrates have a complex metamorphosis involving several larval stages.
* Barnacles: These crustaceans go through a series of larval stages before settling down as adults.
* Some Jellyfish: Some jellyfish species have a complex lifecycle involving a polyp stage that can reproduce asexually.
It's important to remember that not all insects or amphibians go through metamorphosis. Some insects, like grasshoppers and dragonflies, undergo incomplete metamorphosis with only three stages. Similarly, some amphibians, like caecilians, have direct development with no larval stage.
