![Exuviae Exuviae is a term used in biology to describe the remains of an exoskeleton and related structures that are left after ecdysozoans[verification needed] (including insect, crustacean or arachnid) have moulted. The exuviae of an animal can be important to biologists as it can often be used to identify the species of the animal and even its sex.
As it is not always practical to study insects, crustaceans or arachnids directly and because exuviae can be collected fairly easily, exuviae can play an important part in helping to determine some general aspects of a species overall life cycle such as distribution, sex ratio, production and proof of breeding in a habitat.
"Exuvia" is a derived singular usage that is becoming more common; "exuvium" is an incorrect singular formation.[1][2 Exoskeleton,Exuviae,Insects,macro](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/80/1451_small.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1687392010&Signature=eMgPFnV301JkMp7NtOJAlqbDyf8%3D)

![Taraxacum Diamond Dust 1 Taraxacum (pronounced /təˈræksəkʉm/) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Eurasia and North America, and two species, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, are found as weeds worldwide.[1] Both species are edible in their entirety.[2] The common name dandelion (pronounced /ˈdændɨlaɪ.ən/ dan-di-ly-ən, from French dent-de-lion, meaning lion's tooth) is given to members of the genus, and like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.[3] Plants,Taraxacum,Taraxacum officinale,macro](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/80/1441_small.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1687392010&Signature=8Kp4YiqkWzmIdzfcdZJWI0NmB94%3D)

Lifeware
Hello my name is Jeannette Zwiers from the Netherlands and my artist-name is Lifeware
My three photographic passions are macro, portraits/models and photo-manipulation or creative editing using Photoshop.
The world of insects is very diverse and interesting, insects are great to look at close up and the colors are often beautiful and detailed when seen magnified.
Often people are not aware how beautiful and interesting a spider looks when magnified and captured in a picture, I want to show this.
When I started taking macro images about 6 years ago, I had no idea that there were so many different insects and how interesting and fascinating their little world is.
