Egg

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own; at which point the animal hatches.

Instar

An instar (from the Latin "form", "likeness") is a developmental stage of arthropods, such as insects, between each moult (ecdysis), until sexual maturity is reached.

Nymph (biology)

In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates, particularly insects, which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage.

Ovipositor

The ovipositor is an organ used by some animals for the laying of eggs.

Parasitism

In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.

Parasitoid

A parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host and at the host's expense, and which sooner or later kills it.

Pest (organism)

A pest is a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns including crops, livestock, and forestry.
