    Yes this is correct. Metamorphosis occurs via a cacoon or a pupa. Eggs are purely to give birth to new living entities.

    But come on, it's not really a big deal.

    you know what, the <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/manual_version_2/Natural_Selection_Manual_Framed.html' target='_blank'>NS Manual</a> calls it an gestation egg; so that's good enough for me and should be good enough for you.

    Yes, because 5 year olds know about Pupa's. Hmm...

    It's really not, and I believe no one cares.

    It's like calling a Chimp a Monkey, while it's not. But it's pretty cool it a Pupa, next time I see that, I'll be sure to forget it.
