Oriental Cockroach has which type of metamorphosis?

• A. Simple metamorphosis
• B. Complete metamorphosis
• C. No metamorphosis
• D. Partial metamorphosis

Answer: (A)

Oriental cockroaches develop through simple (incomplete) metamorphosis. They hatch from eggs into nymphs that resemble smaller versions of the adult and shed their skin through several molts until they reach full size; there is no pupal stage in between. This is different from complete metamorphosis, which includes a distinct larval form followed by a pupal stage before becoming an adult. It also isn’t no metamorphosis, since the young do change in size and form through molts, and the term partial metamorphosis isn’t the standard way to describe this lifecycle.
