Synopsis
This book is a detailed study of insect metamorphoses, which in many species involve a series of distinct stages. The author, a distinguished scientist, begins by defining the main types of insects and their life stages. The author then offers an in-depth analysis of what causes these changes, arguing that they result from both internal and external factors. A particularly important influence, the author claims, is the mode of life of the insect, with parasites and wood-burrowers developing very different forms compared to leaf-feeders and carnivores. This book makes an original contribution to science by revealing the many factors which affect insect metamorphosis.
