0 (of a bird or animal) to lose feathers, skin, or hair as a natural process at a particular time of year so that new feathers, skin, or hair can grow
The first instar larva moults and the second instar larva continues moving within the host-plant stem.
In 1997 and 1998, 6 and 12 newly moulted fourth instar larvae respectively were ascribed to a specific temperature and type of leaf.
The newly moulted individuals were recognized by their size and the presence of exuviae.
To determine the actual fertility, for several seasons newly moulted males and females were kept until their death in outside wire cages.
The second stadium lasted for 2-3 days, after which they moulted (9 days post-oviposition).
The larvae in the fish moulted to fourth-stage larvae.
On primary exposure they observed an inflammatory reaction provoked by developing larvae, their excretory/secretory products and sheaths left behind after moulting.
Feeding was suspended when larvae showed moulting behaviour.
