🐛 What is Metamorphosis?
Metamorphosis is the amazing process where insects transform from larvae to adults — like a chemical makeover!
⚗️ Hormones Involved
- Ecdysone: Triggers molting, shedding old skin
- Juvenile Hormone: Controls development stage, keeps insect in larva or pupa form until it’s time to become an adult
🔬 Chemical Signals
These hormones are steroids and peptides, circulating through the insect’s blood to tell cells when to grow or change.
🌱 Why It Matters
Understanding metamorphosis helps develop safer insect control methods, targeting growth without harsh chemicals.
