Do crickets shed their skin?

Question

I looked in my Leopard Gecko's cage today and saw a cricket that he did not eat. It looked like the cricket was shedding its skin??? The cricket was completely white with beady black eyes and it looked like it was trying to crawl out of the old skin.

Answer 1

thats how insects grow. the skin doesn't grow with them so they have to shed it to get bigger just like crabs adn lobsters. all insects shed their skins.

Answer 3
