For females, a high and broad peak of molt activity occurred both years between late February and early May. The exact frequencies of soft animals, however, varied between the two years. Between late October and early November of each year, another smaller peak in molt activity was observed; a slightly elevated frequency of soft animals was also observed in December. Throughout the summer, no soft females were observed. For males, no discernible peaks in molt activity were detected. However, soft animals were rarely (1980) or never (1981) seen during the summer.
