The phrase
"nymph stage" refers to a developmental stage in the life cycle of some insects, such as butterflies or grasshoppers. It is a period between the initial hatching from an egg and the final transformation into an adult. During this stage, the insect typically undergoes several growth spurts, shedding its old skin to accommodate its increasing size.
