The Desert locust's hatch into wingless larva's called hoppers. They shed their skin five or six times. It is called moulting the stage between moults is referred to instar. Finally moult from the wingless instar hopper to a winged adult is called fledging. The new adult also known as fledging has soft wings that dry and harden before it fly's. Adults don't moult so therefore don't grow size increasing in weight. Adult that fly are immature but then later become mature and can lay eggs.
