They don’t undergo metamorphosis. They only have three distinct developmental stages: the egg, nymph, and adult stages. Many thrips species exhibit complex behavioral patterns including fighting, sociality (in which some individuals reduce their own lifetime reproductive potential to raise the offspring of others), and lekking (a communal breeding display on a lek).
