incomplete metamorphosis See simple metamorphosis.
incubation A period of development during which a pathogen changes to a form that can penetrate or infect a new host plant.
Because the tarnished plant bug has incomplete metamorphosis, the nymphs resemble adults without wings. Newly hatched nymphs are about 1 mm (0.04 in.) long and remain greenish throughout their five stages, or instars.
