the bug that sheds it's exoskeleton is called CICADA.

answer 2. Bugs that live for more than a few months commonly shed their exoskeleton as they grow. Many Spiders do so. [And their relatives the crabs and crayfish/lobsters.]

Cicadas shed their skin when they first emerge from the ground (where they will have spent several years living off a root), and they do it after first having climbed a small tree, so their discarded shells are conspicuous.

The shedding of an insect's skeleton is called the process of molting. Insects do this occasionally to build a new exoskeleton and grow to a bigger size.
