Nymph (Agriculture)

A stage or series of size changes between egg and adult in the life cycle of insects that go through incomplete or simple metamorphosis.

Nymph (Dream)

To see nymphs bathing in clear water, denotes that passionate desires will find an ecstatic realization. Convivial entertainments will enchant you.
To see them out of their sphere, denotes disappointment with the world.
For a young woman to see them bathing, denotes that she will have great favor and pleasure, but they will not rest strictly within the moral code. To dream that she impersonates a nymph, is a sign that she is using her attractions for selfish purposes, and thus the undoing of men.

Nymph (Ecology)

A stage in the life cycle of insects that do not go through complete metamorphosis (cycle of change). Most insects have four stages (1 = egg, 2 = larva, 3 = pupa, 4 = adult), but some only have three stages. This is called incomplete metamorphosis (1 = egg, 2 = nymph, 3 = adult). With incomplete metamorphosis, nymphs hatch from eggs and slowly change into adults. There is no pupa, or resting stage. Most aquatic insects have a nymph stage, since a pupa (coccoon) could not survive underwater. A few land insects, such as grasshoperrs and crickets, have a nymph stage also.

Nymph (Entomological)

Name given to the young stages of those insects which undergo a partial metamorphosis. The nymph is usually quite similar to the adult except that its wings are not fully developed. It normally feeds on the same kind of food as the adult.

Nymph (Insect)

Nymph (Pests)

The immature stage of an insect. For such insects, there is no pupal stage. The egg hatches into the nymph which looks very much like the adult in appearance except that it has no fully–developed wings. The nymph grows into the adult by moulting several times.
