		<description><![CDATA[Cockroaches and grasshoppers, among many, go through incomplete metamorphosis. When cockroaches and grasshoppers hatch, they look like tiny replicas of their parents except for two important differences: They cannot reproduce yet and they lack functional wings. At this stage, they are called nymphs. The stage preceding each molt is known as an instar. Every time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In late summer, the fields buzz with the singing of male grasshoppers inviting female grasshoppers to court. Rubbing their back legs against their wings, each species sings its own song. After mating, the female grasshopper lays 2 to 120 eggs in the soil, dying soon afterward. However, throughout the winter the eggs remain carefully hidden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s the difference between butterflies and moths? Many moths and butterflies look alike. But a few traits help us to distinguish one from the other. The butterfly has club-like antennae, while moth antennae are feathery or hair-like. Butterflies are usually brighter in color than moths. Butterflies have slim bodies compared to the moth&#8217;s stout, hairier [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grasshoppers are the insect high jump champions! The exceptional jumping ability of grasshoppers is due to their extremely long and powerful hind legs. They can jump 20 times the length of their bodies. This would be the equivalent of a human jumping one third the length of a football field (30 meters). But such comparisons [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does a worm-like (larva) caterpillar turn into a beautiful moth or butterfly? This amazing transformation is one of the most striking examples of complete metamorphosis. Metamorphosis of the larva to a pupa and of the pupa to an adult is controlled solely by the caterpillar&#8217;s hormones. After the larva, or caterpillar, bites its way [...]]]></description>
