2. What is the difference between simple metamorphosis and
complete metamorphosis - ANSWER ✔ Simple Metamoph. is 3
stages egg, nymph, and adult. gradual change. Complex
Metamorph. 4 distinct stages egg, larva, pupa, and adult

thousands of insects, they act quickly, effectiveness can be
evaluated quickly, equipment and formulations are common

kill beneficial insects, reapeated use can lead to resistance, added
cost of production, potential for drift to areas with benifical insects
