About this worksheet
3rd Grade Beetle Metamorphosis Worksheet
Did you know a ladybug is a beetle? This worksheet uses the ladybug to teach complete metamorphosis, the four stage life cycle of beetles: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larva looks nothing like the adult, eats and grows, then changes shape inside the pupa. Students put the stages in order and answer questions about each one.
