About this worksheet
3rd Grade Cricket Metamorphosis Worksheet
A cricket's life cycle has only three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. This worksheet teaches incomplete metamorphosis, where the young nymph looks like a small adult with no wings and grows by shedding its skin, or molting. There is no pupa. Students order the stages and contrast them with a beetle's four stage life cycle.
