Since arthropods have a rigid exoskeleton, in order to grow they need to moult their entire skin, then wait for the new exoskeleton to harden. Some of them eat the old exoskeleton in order to recapture the mineral content. Since many (like the crustaceans) are vulnerable during this stage, they need to hide for a while. The moulting process for some arthropods also integrates with the limb regeneration function.
