Do insects have body covering?
The body covering of an insect is called an exoskeleton. Meaning that their skeleton is external or on the outside. As they grow insects shed their old exoskeleton when a new one forms. The new exoskeleton however is softer and at this time the insect is most vulnerable, that is until the new one hardens.
Do black tiger swallowtail have skeleton?
Butterflies are insects. Insects are Arthropod animals. They have exoskeletons, which means the skeleton is on the outside instead of the inside. Butterflies have to shed their skin to grow, which you can see when the caterpiller splits its skin, crawls out, then changes into a pupa.

How is a insect's exoskeleton similar to a humans skeleton?
Exoskeletons and Endoskeletons both protect the animal. Both are a place for the animal's muscles to attach. This lets the animal move its body. Both types of skeletons are useful for supporting the body and holding it off the ground. An exoskeleton cannot grow, and must be shed each time the animal gets larger. An endoskeleton can grow, and animals with internal skeletons do not have to shed anything.

What is it when insects shed their skeleton?
Insects shed their exoskeleton in order to grow. They expand quickly before the next exoskeleton hardens.
What is the effect of exoskeleton on insects?
An exoskeleton functions as an insect's skeletal system. Unlike humans who have a skeletal structure on the inside, insects have theirs on the outside. (Exo- Greek for outside, external) This limits how large insects can get (thank goodness) so, unlike mammals, reptiles and other creatures that have an internal skeletal system, insects can only grow to a certain size due to gravity. The bigger something gets, the more gravity is being exerted on it, so theoretically insects would cave in on themselves if they got too big. This is why lobsters, crabs, and other crustaceans are larger than an average beetle because being underwater allows their exoskeletons to grow a little bit more.
