Nymphs are larvae of hemimetabolic insects (such as grasshoppers). They are much similar to the adult insect though smaller. In holometabolic insects (such as butterflies) the larva makes a cocoon (that is, chrysalis, pupa) where it lives till emerging into the adult form. Imago is the name provided to the adult form of insects with oblique development.
