They shed their skin when they grow. It's called an exoskeleton (a tough, outer 'skin' to keep all the squishy bits inside as they dont have any bones!). Because they will increase their size a number of times before maturity (just like humans but our skin grows with us- a locusts doesn't), they will shed more the younger they are. Hope that helps.
