Nymphs

Nymphs are the immature stages of certain insects, like butterflies, dragonflies, and for example, mayflies. Unlike eggs or fully grown insects, nymphs resemble smaller versions of the adults but often lack fully developed wings or reproductive organs. They go through a series of molts as they grow, gradually developing features they will have as adults. Nymphs usually live in their natural habitats, such as water or soil, and are an essential part of their insect's life cycle, enabling them to reach maturity and reproduce.
