Q. Why might you need to manage each life stage (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) differently for pests that
undergo complete metamorphosis? - Because each developmental stage often has different
needs and habitats. The pests may also live in different environments. For example, the larvae of many
insects feed and live in one habitat and then leave that area to pupate a short distance away. The adults
that emerge require a different food source and live in another area. They may return to the larval
feeding sites only to lay eggs. For this reason, you must manage species with complete metamorphosis
according to where their different developmental stages live and how they behave.
