Which insect has Coleoptera and metamorphosis Complete?

• A. Hog Louse
• B. Ground Beetle
• C. House Cricket
• D. Indian Meal Moth

Answer: (B)

Beetles are classified in the order Coleoptera and they develop through complete metamorphosis, with four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The ground beetle is a beetle, so it fits Coleoptera, and it undergoes complete metamorphosis like other beetles. The other insects don’t meet both criteria: hog louse isn’t a beetle and doesn’t have complete metamorphosis; house crickets are orthopterans with incomplete metamorphosis; the Indian meal moth is a moth (Lepidoptera) with complete metamorphosis but not a beetle. So the ground beetle best satisfies both conditions.
