This review describes the life cycle and ecological adaptations of fully metamorphosed insects, and explores the effects of environmental factors on the ecological adaptations of fully metamorphosed insects, including climate change, food resources, natural enemies and other factors. By understanding the interactions between the ecological adaptations of fully transformed insects and environmental factors, some effective conservation measures are provided, such as adopting non-chemical methods such as biological control to manage pests and reduce the negative impacts on insect populations and ecosystems; and promoting production methods such as sustainable agriculture to reduce the damage to the environment caused by human activities. By strengthening the research on fully transformed insects, this review aims to better understand their importance and ecological roles in ecosystems, and to develop more comprehensive and effective conservation and management programs to ensure the sustainable development of ecosystems with fully transformed insects.
