# data[].attributes.body
The posterior part of the body in some arthropods, like spiders, that contains organs related to digestion, reproduction, and respiration, often separated from the head and thorax by a narrow waist.

Respiratory organs in the form of tracheal tubes opening by a pair of stigmata in the 2nd and 3rd somites of the opisthosoma

The larvae hatched into flies, which they then bred using artificial light

# data[].attributes.body
The larval stage of butterflies and moths, known for feeding heavily on leaves before turning into a pupa.

Groups of the caterpillars begin to move down the trunk and look for a place to pupate in leaf litter or the ground

# data[].attributes.body
The transitional stage between larva and adult in some insects, during which the organism is typically inactive and undergoes transformation.

Pupa is named from its resemblance to a chrysalis, the apex being rounded
