On the Canoose Stream in southwest New Brunswick, Paul-Michael Brunelle came across an exuvium, which he couldn't identify. |
A scorpion exuvium may include the booklung lamellae, preoral tube, and other internal features and there may be little distortion of delicate hairs, bristles, and setae. |
Part of the bloodmeal is not used by tsetse but is egested immediately in the exuvium. |
Once emerged, the adult rests while its wings dry and expand. Then it takes flight for the first time, leaving behind the larval skin or exuvium. |
