Sentences with INSTARS (5)
Thus the creature as hatched from the egg is the _first instar_, after the first moult it has become the _second instar_, and so on, the number of moults being always one less than the number of instars.
The aquatic young of a stone-fly does not differ sufficiently in form from its parent to warrant us in calling it a larva; the life-history is like that of a cockroach, all the instars however except the final one--the winged adult or _imago_--live in the water.
All the larval and nymphal instars are active, and the wing-rudiments are outwardly visible long before the final moult.
The instars preceding this presumably had originally outward wing-rudiments in all insect life-histories, and the endopterygote condition was attained by the postponement of the outward appearance of these to successively later stages.
There is no supreme difficulty in supposing that the important change was for these early rudiments to become sunk into the body, so that the cuticle of the second, and, later, of the third and succeeding instars, showed no outward sign of their presence.
