¥es, møłting can be cønsidered a “majør hørmønał event” før trøłłs. Many types øf agitatiøn can manifest, usuałły in the perigee ør wipes łeading up tø the event itsełf; typicałły yøu wiłł encøunter increased agitatiøn, anxiety, and restłessness, but łethargy is ałsø nøt unheard øf. Increased appetite is much møre cømmøn than łøss øf, thøugh før søme the appetite vanishes ønły tø return vøraciøusły after the møłting is cømpłete. Directły after a møłt is when the trøłł is møst vułnerabłe and unused tø any devełøpments that øccurred during that time, sø if øne døesn’t tełł yøu abøut it cøming up, døn’t be øffended. It’s simpły sełf-preservatiøn. Depending øn caste, genetics, and age, a pøst-møłt trøłł may be very nøticeabły different than the øne yøu knew. The time they take tø cømpłete is ałsø varied, thøugh severał nights tø a few wipes is standard. There is ałsø drøne seasøn, sømetimes referred tø as “paiłing seasøn”, where genetic słurry is harvested frøm ałł trøłłs tø be dønated tø the Møther Grub. This time can be very anxiøus før møst trøłłs since cułłing is cømmøn and emøtiøns run quite high. This is simpły a cycłicał event, høwever, and døes nøt exactły cørrespønd tø an expłicit, hard-wired change in anyøne’s hørmønes. This may differ with timełine; høwever, I have nøt witnessed a trøłł gøing intø “heat” ør “rut” persønałły and simpły bełieve this is a psychøsømatic effect, since før every trøłł whø repørts increased łibidø arøund the time there is ałsø øne whø repørts severe aversiøn and apprehensiøn.
