Hymenopterans, Ants

Hymenoptera are Holometabolous, their life cycle consists of four phases: egg, multiple instars, pupa, and adult. "Complete metamorphosis" is the common term for this life cycle. Insect orders with this life cycle are grouped under the term Endopterygota because immatures never have visible wing buds.
