Will crickets shed their skin as they grow?

Yes - all insects go through metamorphosis. I'm not sure if crickets go through complete metamorphosis the way butterflies and most insects do. Their close relatives, grasshoppers and katydids, are some of the only insects that do not go through complete metamorphosis. Instead, they shed a few times until they reach their adult form. Either way, crickets do go through metamorphosis.


What is difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis?

Incomplete metamorphosis involves the animal slowly growing larger through successive moults. The young are called nymphs, and their wings grow externally (like buds) in the early instars. (Eg. grasshoppers, cicadas,etc.) Complete metamorphosis involves separate stages of development; larvae, pupa and adult. (About 90% of insects, including butterflies)


Which describes an insect that undergoes incomplete metamorphosis?

Its juvenile stage looks just like the adult, but smaller and wingless. It molts to grow, and in the final molt the wings fully develop (instead of pupating into the adult form). Insects that do this include dragon/damselflies, mayflies, grasshoppers, cockroaches, mantises, aphids, cicadas and true bugs (Hemiptera).
