It is more dangerous for arthropods to molt, because an arthropod without an exoskeleton is more vulnerable than a bird without feathers.
Ordinarily canaries do not molt for more than a few weeks. If molt goes on too long, there may something wrong with the birds skin or there may be mites.
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.

Yes, flies have exoskeletons. Flies are arthropods and all arthropods have an exoskeleton. More than 90% of creatures on earth are arthropods.
Rheas are generally not considered dangerous birds. They are large, flightless birds native to South America and are more likely to flee than attack when threatened. However, like any wild animal, they can become aggressive if they feel cornered or if their young are in danger. It's best to observe them from a distance to ensure safety for both humans and the birds.
Toads eat a lot of arthropods and are eaten by some specialised animals. Soms birds and snakes eat mostly toads, and they will have more difficulty finding food.
Most owls hibernate, but some, like snowy owls, thrive in winter and do not hibernate.
None! Both molt, cats molt more as their fur is denser. However you can get special breeds of both cats and dogs that don't molt, discuss which breeds these are with a vet. x
They become more vonerable to predators but it allows them to grow.
Angry would be the proper term for its actions. Just like most animals that molt or shed, its eye coverings are also affected by the molt, making it more difficult for it to determine what is coming after it. It usually is quick to display defensive posturing during those times. It is best to leave them alone while molting.
No,they lose their rattlers occasionally,they grow more when they molt.
