How are pupae, larvae, and nymphs similar?

The larva is generally a worm-like creature that emerges from the egg, the first life stage. The pupa is the seemingly sedentary, transformative form following the larval stage. Going through both stages to reach adulthood is defined as complete metamorphosis in insects.

How are pupae, larvae, and nymphs different?

When eggs hatch, what come out of them are larvae. Pupae and nymph are the intermediate stage between the immature and mature forms. Pupae are usually non-mobile but still look different from the mature form while a nymph still can move and already look similar to the mature form.
