I have some feeder crickets in a tank and I just looked at them. One is all white. I found the skin that it shed ad was wondering what was up with that?
Crickets do molt. That's what you saw. They will stop molting once they get their adult wings.I have some feeder crickets in a tank and I just looked at them. One is all white. I found the skin that it shed ad was wondering what was up with that?

I wouldn't consider the metamorphosis of a butterfly or a beetle molting.All arachnids and insects molt. Crustaceans too.
Mealworms molt during their nymph stages. Mealworms are beetle larvae.I wouldn't consider the metamorphosis of a butterfly or a beetle molting.

Caterpillars molt throughout their nymph stages as well. They do not molt once they mature; insects mature, breed, then die.
Correct.Once an insect grows its wings it will no longer molt.
