NymphsDefinition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymph_%28biology%29) In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates, particularly insects, which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage. Unlike a typical larva, a nymph's overall form already resembles that of the adult.
