Which insect has Simple metamorphosis?

• A. Flea
• B. German Cockroach
• C. Forage Looper
• D. Green Lacewing

Answer: (B)

Simple metamorphosis occurs when an insect goes from egg to a nymph that resembles the adult, with molts along the way and no pupal stage. The German cockroach follows this pattern: eggs hatch into nymphs that look like miniature cockroaches and gradually molt into adults, without a pupal phase. The other insects listed undergo complete metamorphosis, which includes distinct larval forms and a pupal stage before becoming adults, so they do not exhibit simple metamorphosis.
