What way is the chitin on the locust limiting?
Since chitin is a strong structural polysaccharide used to form the exoskeletons of insects, it forms a hard shell. As such, as an insect grows, it has to molt, shedding the outer layer of chitin. It usually leaves it behind on a surface, such as a wall or a tree, and it breaks out of the chitin shell after forming a new one underneath. In this way, it can continue to grow and occupy a larger volume within its new exoskeleton.
