“…For the ingroup of Spirobolida, after egg-laying, the eggs can be covered by faecal material and is therefore camouflaged as frass [64]. Defecation is also a limitation in euarthropodans as it can lead to water loss; yet, in millipedes, adaptations to the hindgut and malpighian tubes help in the reabsorption of water before the full expulsion of frass [65]. Other euarthropodans are seemingly showing "frass-keeping"; in lepidopteran, larvae in times of reduced water availability will substantially reabsorb water from faeces (i.e., rectal complex) [66].…”
