An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).
To shed an external covering, such as skin, feathers, or horns
When an insect sheds its outer skin, it's called molting.
An exoskeleton is a layer of skin that is like and "exo" (outside) "skeleton", that an animal sheds
An insect does this to grow. It expands rapidly before the next exoskeleton hardens.
The discarded outer covering of an animal.
No Ants do not have a back bone. In fact no insect has any bones at all, the body is supported by an exo-skeleton. A hard outer shell with the organs all inside without any bones. they have got a backbone.
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
Response to external stimuli
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
there are three major types of skeletons: endo, exo, hydrostatic the water strider has an exoskeleton that it regularly "sheds"
