A butterfly young shed its skin a lot of time. Why does it needs to undergo the process of molting/moulting?​

Answer:

Moulting/moliting in arthropods is the shedding of exoskeleton (shell) to let the organism (e.g butterfly) grow. As caterpillars grow (butterfly larva) they shed their exoskeleton. This process is called molting or ecdysis and is triggered by hormones.
