An animation of a cicada undergoing ecdysis, the molting of the exoskeleton in arthropods and related groups.

The cysts undergo ecdysis a number of times.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This process is called ecdysis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Eurypterids are believed to have undergone ecdysis, making their significance in ecosystems difficult to assess, because it can be difficult to tell a fossil moult from a true fossil carcass.

- Molt: periodic shedding of the cuticle in arthropods or the outer skin in reptiles
- Ecdysis is the moulting of the cuticula in arthropods and related groups (Ecdysozoa). Since the cuticula of these animals is also the skeletal support (the exoskeleton) of the body and is inelastic, it is shed during growth and a new, larger covering is formed. ...
- Ecdysis is Miho Hatori's first solo album after a series of contributions to diverse bands, including Cibo Matto, Gorillaz, the Beastie Boys, and Smokey & Miho. It was released on October 21, 2005 in Japan under the Speedstar International label. ...
- The shedding of an outer layer of skin in snakes, crustaceans and insects; moulting
- The process of shedding the old skin (cuticle).
- Splitting and casting off of the old cuticle, the major event in molting.
- The technical term for the sloughing (shedding) of a snake's old outer skin layer (epidermis), exposing the completed replacement outer skin layer. The term for complications of ecdysis is dysecdysis - the incomplete or improper sloughing of the old outermost skin layer. ...
- The shedding of plumage during molt (see also Endysis).
- The act of moulting in arthropods and related animals with a hardened exoskeleton, enabling growth which would otherwise be inhibited by the rigid cuticle. ...
