In hypermetamorphic insects however, at least one instar, usually the first, differs markedly from the rest. In many hypermetamorphic species, the first instars are numerous, tiny, very mobile larvae that must find their way to a food source. The general term for a mobile first instar is a 63:

The differences between such instars usually reflect transient stages in the life cycle; for instance, one instar might be mobile while it searches for its food supply, while the following instar immediately sheds its locomotory organs and

is an unusual case of hypermetamorphosis in that its first few larval instars do feed, but differently to later instars. Specifically, early instars feed on plant sap (and for this reason have modified mandibles) while later instars feed on plant tissue. Furthermore, instead of becoming less mobile

Hypermetamorphosis in Meloidae. This form of planidium is a typical triungulin and feeds in its first instar. In its second instar it turns into a less triungulin-like form, and feeds again. It then turns into the Scarabaeoid form for two or more instars, depending on species. After that it adopts
