    There are about 28 orders of insects that are divided based on their wing and mouthpart structures as well as their type of metamorphosis. The main types of metamorphosis are ametabolous with no change, paurometabolous with gradual change, hemimetabolous with incomplete change, and holometabolous with complete change. Each order is then described in terms of its common names, type of metamorphosis, and some examples of insects in that order.
