Would it help if I suggested that you hum or sing to yourself when re-reading this reply?

Would it also help if I say there's a reason why I didn't use a semi-colon after cop?

Can you clue - the tune to sing by. lol

paurometabolous

I was going to say - "Row, row, row your boat", but had no idea how it fitted.

 

After reading your answer (which is a word I've never heard of), it makes sense.

I want to know about the nymph & the cop. 😂

Sounds like a plot line for a b-grade movie. 😂

 

I think the cop might relate to "Met" as in the Metropolitan police.

 

Not sure about the nymph though.

 I couldn't get past - Pocahontus - Pocahontas - tried to add a few more letters - didn't seem to work. lol

paurometabolous adjective - development by gradual metamorphosis. In this form of development, immature stages (nymphs ) resemble small adults and typically have external wing buds . They live in the same habitat as adults, typically taking the same food. The true bugs and allies (Hemiptera ) are the most prominent example.
