That would make good logical sense Bob, and also when the metabolism is raised again for a while, the gut would likely get the other needed balances of acids, enzymes and ectrolytes going as well. Probably not a moth, but at least a week or more.

I'm sure the cold temps definitely keep their entire metabolic system much more dormant and inactive when they aren't being needed anyway.
