	Smallest Eggs
		The holometabolous insects, on the other hand, are supposed to have small eggs with little yolk and therefore hatch in an undeveloped form that does not resemble that of their parents (Hinton, 1981).
		However, he recognized that data were insufficient for this kind of comparison and instead listed the major axis of the egg as a percentage of the length of body of female from vertex of head to the tip of abdomen.
		Based on these data he concluded there is no difference in the size of eggs of hemimetabolous and holometabolous insects, and insects that lay thousands of eggs, like Ephemeroptera and the Tachinidae with microtype eggs, have very small eggs in relation to the size of the female.

	Insects - Metamorphosis - A remarkable change
		Typical holometabolous insect groups are the Coleoptera (Beetles), Lepidoptera (moths, butterflies and skippers), Hymenoptera (sawflies, wasps, ants and bees) and Diptera (flies).
		Holometabolous larvae are larvae that pupate before emerging as adult insects, and include many of the most familiar insects.
		Holometabolous larva in general are little more than tubular, efficient eating machines.

	Encyclopedia: Ant
		Ants are holometabolous, and develop by complete metamorphosis, passing through larval and pupal stages before they become adults.
		Holometabolism, also called complete metamorphismis, is a term applied to insect groups to describe the specific kind of insect development which includes four life stages - as an embryo, a larva, a pupa and an imago.
		Metamorphosis in biology is physical development of the individual after birth or hatching involving significant change in form as well as growth and differentiation.

		The evolutional origin of holometabolous metamorphosis in insects, which is one of the reasons of the large success of insects in the animal world, was investigated through the available literatures and the observations of many life styles of insects in the fields.
		The insects with holometabolous metamorphosis or the endopterygotes are characteristic to their larval form relatively simple and dissimilar to the adult one, and the special instar stage of "pupae" existing between the larval and adult one.
		Then, the larval-pupal ecdysis in endopterygotes may originated from the necessity for the protection from predators through the excretion of newly cuticle and its hardening during the long periods necessary for the large morphological change in the phase.

		In addition to the beetles, other holometabolous insects are flies, butterflies, moths, fleas, ants, bees, wasps, and some others.
		Though adult and larval ladybird beetles exploit the same food resources, the holometabolous developmental system often allows juveniles to exploit different food resources from the adults, avoiding competition with the adults, and allowing a greater diversity of resources and niches to be exploited by the species overall.
		However, holometabolous insects greatly outnumber us by any measure, be it species diversity, overall biomass, or simply sheer number of individuals.

		Insects with a complete metamorphosis and a 4 stage life cycle (i.e the Holometabolous ones) do have a pupa and their wings develop inside their bodies and are therefore not seen at all until the adult insect emerges.
		The young of holometabolous insects, properly called 'larva' seldom look anything like the adult forms of the insect at all.
		Spending the juvenile part of your life under water in a stream or pond is not something that just the hemimetabolous insects do, many holometabolous insects have aquatic larval stages such as most Caddisflies (Trichoptera), some True flies such as Mosquitoes and many Neuroptera and Coleoptera.

		The Coleoptera is a diverse order of holometabolous insects with over 5,000 aquatic species (comprising, however, less than 2% of the world's described beetle species).
		Holometabolous; adult diagnostically with mesothoracic wings modified as rigid elytra; gaseous exchange usually by temporary or permanent air stores.
		Larvae are very variable, all with distinct sclerotised head, strongly developed mandibles, 2-3 segmented antenna; 3 pairs of jointed thoracic legs, lacking abdominal prolegs; open peripneustic (9 pairs of spiracles) tracheal system, but variably reduced spiracle number in most aquatic larvae, some with lateral and/or ventral abdominal gills, sometimes hidden beneath terminal sternite.

		Holometabolous development is when the larvae do not resemble the adults and the adult and larva have different habitats and food sources.
		Insects the have holometabolous development, including moths and butterflies, may have evolve this type of development as a way to reduce competition for food among the adults and larva.
		When a moth or butterfly produces eggs she will begin to search for specific plant species to deposit the eggs so that when the larva hatch they may feed on it as it develops.

	List of Orders
		Beetles are holometabolous insects, with a life cycle consisting basically of an egg, larva, pupa, and adult or imago; there are some cases, however, where the egg or pupal stage has been eliminated.
		As a holometabolous insect, or one that undergoes complete metamorphosis, the Dipteran life cycle includes a series of distinct stages or instars.
		Pupation occurs in cells in the soil adjacent to a body of water, in logs in or near the water, or in dry streambeds.

	New genetic analysis forces re-draw of insect family tree
		The researchers used the genomes of six different insects from the holometabolous group of insects (insects which undergo complete metamorphosis): fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), mosquito (Anopheles gambiae), silk moth (Bombyx mori), flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), honey bee (Apis mellifera) and sibling parasitic wasp species (Nasonia vitripennis and Nasonia giraulti).
		These insects represent the four major orders of holometabolous insects, beetles (Coleoptera), moths (Lepidoptera), flies (Diptera) and bees and wasps (Hymenoptera), which together represent 45 per cent of the animal species on earth.
		They also included one orthopteran (the grasshopper Locusta migratoria) and one hemipteran (the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum), both of which are uncontested out-groups to the holometabolous insects.

	Re: by observing a grasshopper as it hatches out of its egg, how could you -
		In nearly all insects growth involves a metamorphosis, that is, a transformation in form and in way of life.
		Insects in which the adult form is only seen after the last or next-to-last molt of the young are called "holometabolous".
		If it would be a holometabolous insect, it would like totally different from its adult form.

		In general, insects undergo either incomplete metamorphosis (they are hemimetabolous) or complete metamorphosis (holometabolous).
		Thrips are considered to undergo incomplete metamorphosis, yet many species undergo an extended metamorphosis in which the final immature stage is quiescent, non-feeding, and sometimes even enclosed in a silken cocoon.
		This developmental stage, usually called a "pupa", has aroused a great deal of speculation by some entomologists who claim that thrips represent an "intermediate" stage between hemi- and holometabolous development.

		A comparison of young stages in grasshoppers and dragonflies indicates a potential problem with incomplete metamorphosis in insects: the immature forms must grow and develop while they are more or less encased in the form of the adult insect; however, they lack the wings of an adult.
		In many (if not most) holometabolous insects, eggs are laid on or near a good source of food for the larva, so the larva is not hindered in its search for food by its relative immobility.
		In holometabolous insects, different life stages are specialized for different ecological functions.

		The Holometabola (insects with complete metamorphosis: beetles, wasps, flies, fleas, butterflies, lacewings, and others) is a monophyletic group that includes the majority of the world's animal species.
		Holometabolous orders are well defined by morphological characters, but relationships among orders are unclear.
		In a search for a region of DNA that will clarify the interordinal relationships we sequenced approximately 1080 nucleotides of the 5' end of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene from representatives of 14 families of insects in the orders Hymenoptera (sawflies and wasps), Neuroptera (lacewing and antlion), Siphonaptera (flea), and Mecoptera (scorpionfly).

		The three life stages that are seen in ancestral insect species -- pronymph, nymph and adult -- are proposed to be equivalent to the larva, pupa, and adult stages of insects with complete metamorphosis.
		This transition from hemimetabolous to holometabolous development has been accompanied by changes in the endocrine patterns underlying growth and metamorphosis and in the way that tissues respond to these hormonal cues.
		This has been associated with the transformation of the transitional pronymphal stage of hemimetabolous insects into the holometabolous larval stage (Truman and Riddiford, 1999, Nature 410,447).
