Sex refers to physiological differences found among male, female, and various intersex bodies.

A stage in the life cycle of the organism. Immature stages are called larvae, and differ markedly from adults. Insects which undergo complete metamorphosis pass through a larval stage, then enter an inactive state called pupa, and finally emerge as adults. This applies to Coleoptera – Beetles; Diptera – Flies; Hymenoptera – Ants, bees, sawflies and wasps; Lepidoptera – Butterflies and moths; Mecoptera – Scorpionflies; Megaloptera – Alderflies, dobsonflies and fishflies; Neuroptera – Lacewings, antlions, etc.; Raphidioptera – Snakeflies; Siphonaptera – Fleas; Strepsiptera – Twisted-winged parasites and Trichoptera – Caddisflies

Life Stage (Complete Metamorphosis)

A stage in the life cycle of the organism. In incomplete metamorphosis insects, immature stages are called nymphs. Development proceeds in repeated stages of growth and moulting; these stages are called instars. The juvenile forms closely resemble adults, but are smaller and lack adult features such as wings and genitalia. The size and morphological differences between nymphs in different instars are small, often just differences in body proportions and the number of segments; in later instars, external wing buds form. This applies to Hemiptera (scale insects, aphids, whitefly, cicadas, leafhoppers and true bugs); Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets); Mantodea (praying mantises); Some Blattodea (cockroaches and termites); Dermaptera (earwigs); Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies); Phasmatodea (Stick Insects); Phthiraptera (sucking lice); Ephemeroptera (mayflies); Plecoptera (stoneflies); Isoptera (termites); Grylloblattodea (ice insects) and Thysanoptera

Abundance is an ecological concept referring to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem. It is usually measured as the number of individuals found per sample.

Abundance

Animals that are held by humans and prevented from escaping are said to be in captivity. The term is usually applied to wild animals that are held in confinement, but may also be used generally to describe the keeping of domesticated animals such as livestock or pets. This may include, for example, animals in farms, private homes, zoos and laboratories. Cultivation includes plants in agriculture, horticulture or gardening,  fungiculture, microbiological culture etc.
