Pupa is the transitional form of some insects from larvae to adults. The larva grows to a certain period of time and stops eating, changes its internal organization and appearance, and finally turns into a pupa, which will turn into an adult under the right circumstances.

The pupa's appearance is generally characterized by a date-palm shape. Since the pupa is an inactive stage, most pupae are stationary and have a hard protective shell, so they are unable to move and do not need to eat. Different species of insects pupate at different times, and the pupal development stage time is also different, so some pests in the pupal development stage is the best time to eliminate them.
