Hypermetamorphosis is a kind of complete metamorphosis in which the different larval instars represent two or more different forms of larva. As the larva molts its morphology can change from that of a campodeiform larva to scarabaeiform (grublike) or to vermiform (maggotlike).[1] Some of these instars are very active, while instars closer to final pupation become less active, in some cases.
