Sclerotization strengthens the cuticle after ecdysis by cross-linking cuticular proteins. It gives insects firm body plates and protective hard parts.

The epidermis lies beneath the cuticle and secretes cuticular materials. During molting, it produces enzymes and new layers that allow the old exoskeleton to be replaced.

The waxy epicuticle is important for terrestrial insects because it limits evaporation. This helps insects survive in dry habitats where water conservation is essential.

The insect cuticle includes an outer epicuticle and deeper procuticle regions such as exocuticle and endocuticle. This layered design provides protection, support, and resistance to water loss.
