PUPA, pu'pa, the name applied to the third stage in the metamorphosis of insects. In the typical complete or holometabolic insects, exemplified by beetles, the Lepidoptera, and flies, the pupa stage is marked by quiescence and rest, and thus presents a contrast to the preceding and active larval stage. During the pupa stage the elements of the larval form are being remodeled into that of the imago or perfect insect, which in due time emerges from the pupa case. An insect may remain in the pupa stage from a few hours or days, to weeks, months or even years.
