I started to wonder about this.
To me, it seems that Graboids don't actually metamorphose into Shriekers.
Unlike the transition into Assblasters, they don't shed their skin and change shape.
What I'm assuming happens is that Graboids lay 3-4 Shrieker "eggs" inside their body, the Shriekers hatch and eat the Graboid alive from the inside out.
Essentially, the Graboid dies to give it's offspring a chance to survive.
This would make sense as a survival stategy, since it means the Shriekers would enter the world with a full stomach and would not need to hunt immediately to live.
Which would probably explain all the screaming the Graboid in the second movie does, if something is eating you alive from the inside, it can't be a pleasant experience.

Yup...that's exactly what's shown in the movie. Graboids are the main stage, they give birth to Shriekers to multiply and expand their numbers, the Shriekers turn into ABs to lay eggs, each egg becomes another Graboid, and so on and so forth.
