What are the larval stages for the calliphoridae?
447857
There are three larval stages (called instars) for calliphoridae.  Basically each instar represents the growth of the larvae.  The first instar is approximately 5 mm long after 1.8 days.  The second instar is approximately 10 mm long after 2.5 days.  The third instar is approximately 17 mm long after 4-5 days.  I hope this information helps.  :)

Life Stages\nLike all mosquitoes, anophelines go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The first three stages are aquatic and last 5-14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature. The adult stage is when the female Anopheles mosquito acts as malaria vector. The adult females can live up to a month (or more in captivity) but most probably do not live more than 1-2 weeks in nature.

Caddisfly larvae, a variety of insect in the order Trichoptera, construct an outer casing made of silk and pebbles.  They will wear this until they reach adulthood.  You could say the same for a cocoon on a moth or butterfly pupa, a shell on a clam, or the outer casing on a barnacle or tube worm, but these are all constructed strictly from secretions made by the body.  Caddisflies are the only things I can think of that actually construct an outer layer with the tools at hand (plus bodily secretions).  Hermit crabs will find a shell of a gastropod to live in until they grow out of it and need a new one.

The life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks. \n************************************************************\nthe lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n************************************************************\nRecent illegal deforestation of the Monarch's overwintering grounds have led to a drastic reduction in the butterfly's population. Efforts to classify it as a protected species and to restore its habitat are under way. Mexican authorities expected a significant increase in the Monarch population in the 2005-2006.

Agalychnis callidryas prey on small insects.  I hope that is specific enough.  I could have said things that move.

The life cycle of the ant consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Fertilized eggs produce female ants (queens, workers, or soldiers); unfertilized eggs produce male ants. \nEgg: Ant eggs are oval shaped and tiny (they are on the order of 1 mm long, but the queen's egg is many times larger). \n\nLarva: The worm-like larvae have no eyes and no legs; they eat food regurgitated by adult ants. The larvae molt (shed their skin) many times as they increase in size. \n\nPupa: After reaching a certain size, the larva spins a silk-like cocoon around itself (against a solid object, like the wall of the chamber) and pupates. During this time the body metamorphoses (changes) into its adult form. \n\nAdult: The pupa emerges as an adult. The entire life cycle usually lasts from 6 to 10 weeks. Some queens can live over 15 years, and some workers can live for up to 7 years.

The housefly has a complete metamorphosis with distinct egg, larva or maggot, pupal and adult stages. The house fly overwinters in either the larval or pupal stage under manure piles or in other protected locations. Warm summer conditions are generally optimum for the development of the house fly, and it can complete its life cycle in as little as seven to ten days, and as many as 10 to 12 generations may occur in one summer.

That's probably the house sparrow. I'm not sure what you mean by "stages," but like all birds there's courtship, mating, and nesting. They can nest year-round, but most commonly do so April-September. The incubation is done mostly by the female for 11-14 days, then the hatchlings stay in the nest for 15-17 more days.

Honnin has given part of the tick life cycle\ncorrectly.  However, after the nymphal stage, the\nlast he mentioned, the tick becomes an adult and\nfeeds again.  It then mates and lays eggs to begin\nthe cycle again.\n\nThe horseshoe crab once a year comes ashore\nmates and lays eggs in the sand.  The eggs hatch\ninto free-swimming "trilobite larvae", which look\nlike the full-grown horseshoe crabs except that\nthey lack the tail.  These molt repeatedly and grow\ngradually to the adult stage.\n\nScorpions go through an elaborate courtship ritual\nduring which the male deposits a stalked sperm\ncontainer (called a spermatophore) on the ground&#92;\nand the female picks it up in her genital aperture.\nFertilization is internal and the young develop in\nthe female's body, nourished by a placenta-like\norgan.  Young are born alive and are carried by\nthe mother on her back until they have molted once\nor twice, at which point they take up independent\nlife.  Mating probably occurs only once a year,\nalthough in the tropics it might be more frequent.

Termites undergo incomplete metamorphosis: \n\ni.e. the eggs hatch into nymphs that are a small copy of the adult specimen. They go thru a development cycle of : \n\n1:Egg > 2:nymph > 3:adult \n\nAs the nymph grows it sheds its exoskeleton (moults), replacing it with a larger one. Moulting occurs 4 - 8 times, and stops when the insect has attained 'adult' size. \n\nThe adults may be wingless workers, wingless soldiers or winged or wingless reproductive adults. Winged reproductive adults are what we commonly see swarming about on rainy summer nights - they are called 'alates'.\n\nTermite development (incomplete metamorphosis) contrasts with the more common insect development we are familiar with (viz. complete metamorphosis) se seen in butterflies. \n\n1: eggs > 2:larva > 3:pupa > 4: adult\n\n---\nYou can learn a bit more about termites here:\nhttp://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2092.html
