Animal development (metamorphosis): For which organisms is the young one called a ‘‘nymph’’? Full question: Nymph is the name of the young stage of which kind of insect—typical of incomplete (hemimetabolous) metamorphosis? Choose the correct option.

Concept

• In incomplete metamorphosis (hemimetaboly), the immature form is a nymph, resembling the adult but lacking full wings and reproductive maturity.

Examples
Cockroach, grasshopper, termites, dragonflies → nymphs.

Contrast
Butterfly, housefly, beetle (holometaboly) → larva → pupa → adult; their larval stages are caterpillars/maggots/grubs, not nymphs.

Final Answer
Cockroach (and other hemimetabolous insects such as grasshopper).
