YES, they do eat the skin they have shed. I've watched this occur in my garden & I have a video of it. It's probably filled with nutrients for the growing caterpillar. There are 5 instars, or stages of growth. After they shed their skin, they grow to the next instar, then shed their skin again. This happens 5 times, then the caterpillar goes into a chrysalis and eventually emerges as a butterfly.
A caterpillar sheds its skin because its skin gets too tight. The caterpillar needs to grow so that is why it sheds its skin. Eventually the caterpillar will turn into a crysalis or the pupa stage.
Caterpillars after coming out from the eggs after hatching eats all day and night for about 25 to 30 days. As it eats more food than its weight of the body, their skin splits and they have the need to shed their skin.
As snakes grow the skin doesn't grow with them, so they shed the skin because it no longer "fits" them. By shedding the skin they can get larger, and grow.
Mealworms shed to grow bigger, just like how snakes do. Even humans shed skin its just in little patches.
Silkworms shed their skins because they are insect larvae, and this process is called molting, which allows them to grow. Humans do not shed their skin because the outermost layer of our skin constantly renews itself through a process called desquamation, where dead skin cells are shed gradually.
