INSECTS: Insect Molting Process

Small in Fact, Like a Giant Insect in Macro Photo

Insects have a size of approximately 17 millimeters. Even though the picture I posted tonight looks very big like a giant. This is the result of using a macro lens.

I once read an article about this insect. This insect really likes plants that have acidic substances or elements. However, this discussion only provides an understanding of the molting process. as an excerpt that I took in the article General Entomology: Morphogenesis.

The molting process is triggered by the release of hormones when insect growth reaches the physical limits of its exoskeleton. Each molting represents the end of one growth stage (instar) and the beginning of another. In some insect species, the number of instars is constant (usually from 3 to 15), but in other species it can vary in response to temperature, food availability, or other environmental factors. An insect is known as an imago (adult) when it is sexually mature. At this point, the molting stops and the energy for growth is channeled into the production of eggs or sperm.General Entomology: Morphogenesis source

Thus, according to the quotation above, it shows that it belongs to the order Himeptera.

Thank for your time and attention on my post tonight. I just edited it to bring out the details so that it is clearer when people see it and the lighting is a little bit. I am very junior in image editing. but I try when I take the picture trying to produce the best in my opinion. That is all
