The growth of insects is restricted primarily due to their exoskeletons, which are rigid and must be shed through a process called molting to allow for growth. This process is limited by the need for the insect to be vulnerable during the transition. Insects overcome this hindrance by producing hormones that trigger molting, allowing them to grow in stages and develop larger exoskeletons that can accommodate their increased size. Additionally, their ability to reproduce quickly and in large numbers helps ensure survival despite the limitations on individual growth.
