Chitin is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved. It's a polymer and characteristic component of exoskeletons, radulae, beaks, shells and various other physical structures in organisms throughout history.
The most efficient way to harvest Chitin is by using a tamed Megatherium, Direwolf, Sabertooth or Therizinosaurus (headbutt with delicate collection leveled up) with high melee damage. A tamed Diplocaulus can also be used to gather Chitin by killing Trilobite. Another highly efficient tool for harvesting it is the Metal Hatchet with the metal pike yielding similar efficiency. The pike holds the advantage of more precise hits against small chitin-droppers like Meganeura. Chitin can be harvested with a Stone Hatchet and Stone Pick as well, other low level items will only occasionally harvest Chitin.
Another efficient way to farm Chitin seems to be killing scorpions and spiders in caves with a Dire wolf's skilled on melee damage. A Sabertooth will gather just as efficiently but has lower base damage. This method can grant up to 500 Chitin in 10 minutes. Another good way to farm Chitin is to kill Trilobite, Meganeura or Titanomyrma at the beach and surrounding areas, harvesting them with a Hatchet or a Sabertooth. If you are in a forest or swamp, you can also kill a random dinosaur and leave the corpse. Often a swarm of Meganeura will come to the corpse, and you can kill them all at once to gather chitin. Farming Karkinos on Valguero or Aberration can be an effective way of gathering large amounts of Chitin, so long as you have a strong enough tame.
Another way to farm Chitin is to kill a creature, and let the corpse rot without harvesting it. In some regions, this will attract insects. Using a Beelzebufo to kill/harvest the insects will not only result in a much more Chitin, but your frog will also directly produce a sizable amount of cementing paste as well.
