Marcus? How did you know my Spanish name?!
Unfortunately I know very little else about insects but there are many here who do and I'm sure one of them will help eventually but as they are all volunteers it may take some time.
Thanks Marcus! I was in fact wondering if that were the case. Thank you for clarifying that mystery. You don't happen to know what it is do you?
The "carcase" (both spelling versions are correct) you refer to would more likely be an exoskeleton which your insect may have just crawled out of. Insects (arthropods) have a different life cycle to mammals and they also vary between themselves.
