'emergence' - imago emerges from pupa into adult form Explanation: Imaginale describes the fourth stage of the life cycle of an insect during its complete metamorphosis. I think the term 'emergence' can be used to describe the way in which as you state the adult 'fledges' or 'emerges' from the pupal form. The insect is said to go through a metamorphosis when it changes between forms/ life stages, but between individual stages it emerges. e.g. insect emerges (or there is another term 'eclose'/'eclosion'): https://www.amentsoc.org/insects/glossary/groups/insect-life... https://www.amentsoc.org/insects/glossary/terms/metamorphosi... https://www.amentsoc.org/insects/glossary/terms/pupa Example sentence(s):

The process leading to the imago is called the imaginal stage Explanation: As discussed - hopefully striking the right balance between the 'technical' tone of the terms and the art/educational context. |
