The correct answer to this question is a: metamorphosis. Many insects take on multiple forms through different parts of their lifecycle. For example, many lepidopteran species (i.e., butterflies) include a caterpillar juvenile stage. To reach the adult stage, the juvenile stage has to go through metamorphosis, where its adult form is strikingly different from its juvenile form.
