Are the Scientific names the same for all the stages in bugs life cycle?
I’m also not sure if it would be different depending on the cycle. I know that there is complete and incomplete(or simple) metamorphosis. I know bugs that go through complete metamorphosis (such as Beetles, Butterflies, and Moths) make some pretty dramatic changes, but bugs that go through simple metamorphosis often remain very much the same. I am pretty sure that the scientific name remains the same because I believe the scientific name is the name of the species and the species doesn’t change going through metamorphosis, also while researching some insects I couldn’t seem to find a different scientific name for the separate stages.
You’re correct. No matter what stage of the life cycle, it is still the same species and therefore has the same Latin name.
