Nymph (biology)
In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates, particularly insects, which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage.
Coevolution
In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.

Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary interactions between flowering plants and insects in On the Origin of Species (1859).
Bee
Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey.
Larva
Distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults.
Distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults.
Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle.
Moulting
Manner in which an animal routinely casts off a part of its body (often, but not always, an outer layer or covering), either at specific times of the year, or at specific points in its life cycle.
Manner in which an animal routinely casts off a part of its body (often, but not always, an outer layer or covering), either at specific times of the year, or at specific points in its life cycle.
In some groups, other body parts may be shed, for example, the entire exoskeleton in arthropods, including the wings in some insects.
Ant
Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera.
Termite
Termites are eusocial insects that are classified at the taxonomic rank of infraorder Isoptera, or alternatively as epifamily Termitoidae, within the order Blattodea (along with cockroaches).
