During the Moulting process, several species change colour.
When birds Moult, they look fairly normal.
Silkworms after second Moult are shifted to shoot racks.
They can Moult about 10 times in their life!
Like most arthropods, lobsters must Moult to grow, which leaves them vulnerable.
It is possible to determine when the rabbit Moult is completed in two ways.
The wings appear as ever- increasing lobes from the third Moulting or sometimes the fourth.

and show an increase in body mass despite a reduction in stored fat.
You probably think I mean Christmas, but as a virologist the sight of glitter,
