Some arthropods do molt after reaching maturity. However, most arthropod species only molt before adulthood is reached and not afterward. King crabs are an example of an arthropod that still molts occasionally after reaching maturity.

Does molting occur in arthropods at immature stage?
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.
What happens to arthropods during molting?
When it grows to big for its exoskeleton, like a hermit crab.
