Do beetles change more during their life cycle compared to a cricket?

• Beetles change more because they go through a complete metamorphosis, while crickets go through an incomplete metamorphosis. Beetle life cycles go egg > larva > pupa > adult. Cricket life cycles go egg > nymph > adult

• Both change the same amount during their life cycles.
