Grasshoppers molt to shed its exo-skeleton in order to grow bigger. Unless they shed their skins, their growth will be restricted. They molt 5 to 6 times to reach adulthood complete with wings to fly. This grasshopper was in my garden trying to get out of its old exoskeleton, hanging itself upside down squeezing itself out. Grasshopper is a herbiverous chewing insect belonging to the subgroup Caelifera.
