The first type is called complete metamorphosis; completely changes the body of the insect. Example is a catterpilar, it transforms into a butterfly with little to none resemblance to its former body.
The second type is called incomplete metamorphosis; does not completely change its body. Example are cockroaches and dragonflies, hatch from eggs looking a lot like their adult selves. They acquire wings and functioning reproductive organs as they grow, but they cannot completely remake their bodies like their completely metamorphosing cousins do.
