What does an arthropod molt?
Yes, arthropods have to moult in order to increase in size, because their exoskeleton is rigid and inhibits growth. The process is called ecdysis and is not limited only to arthropods; it is a characteristic of their clade, ecdysozoa, which includes nematodes and other phyla. Arthropods are more vulnerable when moulting because their new exoskeleton is soft and therefore more vulnerable to predators. The new exoskeleton takes a while to harden; many will hide and wait during this time. Arthropods will usually moult multiple times during their lifespan; the process is also associated with lost limb regrowth.
