Answer:

As the caterpillar grows, its exoskeleton (i.e. its outer cuticle/skin) becomes tight, so it sheds it. This process is called molting. Ecdysone is the molting hormone of insects and it is this that causes an insect to molt. The caterpillar releases an enzyme that dissolves the inner layer of its cuticle (skin).

Explanation:

caterpillars shed their skin 3 to 5 times while the grow and this process is called molting . ... after 1st molting they bring new skin cover and in the mean time some caterpillars also eat their shed old skin . after they grow more then again she'd their skin.
