True bugs undergo simple metamorphosis developing through only three life stages: egg, nymph, and adult. A triangular area, known as the scutellum, is evident on the middle area of the thorax. Nymphs look similar to adults. If wings are present, the front pair is partially thickened or leathery, the second pair membranous
