In biology, exuviae are the remains of an exoskeleton and related structures that are left after ecdysozoans (including insects, crustaceans and arachnids) have moulted. The exuviae of an animal can be important to biologists as they can often be used to identify the species of the animal and even its sex.
Spotted at Manado area, Sulawesi.
Exuvia from Latin, "that which is stripped from a body".
