RE: Gaining wings

in #insects7 years ago

We have spiny leaf insects that do the same thing and sometimes they will eat the moulted skin which is pretty gross. When you look at the old shell compared to their new size you wonder how they ever fit in it because they are so much bigger.

Sort:  

I think that they only shed it when the internal pressure is sufficient to crack it open. Can't be pleasant to need to burst out of your skin
