Stage of metamorphosis (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pupa

'stage of metamorphosis' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pupa that I've seen before include "Developing butterfly" , "middle stage" , "not yet adult" , "Phase of insect life" , "So peacock may have appeared" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
