Yes. In most arthropods, molting occurs at the end of every juvenile phase to allow the individual to accumulate more mass and bigger size while still retaining the exoskeleton. Molting usually ends once the animal achieves adult size, such as with insects and many arachnids. In other arthropods, such as with crabs, lobsters and tarantulas, molting continues even in adulthood.
