What will happen to bugs in autumn? What about winter?

What kind of bugs? There are many kinds! For insects, winter is undoubtedly a ruthless killer. Most insects will freeze to death in the cold winter, and those who can survive will be brutally tested by their physical fitness. However, there is no need to be too pessimistic. This is the primitive law of life in nature. Those who can survive the winter are not necessarily particularly good in physical fitness. The main reason for how long life can last is the genes and inheritance of species.

For example, some ladybugs can overwinter as adults, but most insects overwinter as eggs, pupae and larvae. There are two ways for insects to overwinter, one is dormancy and the other is diapause.

Insects that hibernate can resume their development or reproduction if they are given proper temperature, humidity and food, while insects that hibernate in diapause cannot develop or reproduce until a fixed season (solar term).

In order to avoid the cold winter, insects will find a hidden and warm place to hide and dare not come out for food. In winter, food is scarce, so during this period, no matter whether adults or larvae overwinter, they will stop their activities, reduce their physical consumption and will not grow and reproduce. Spring is coming, the sun is shining, and they come out to feed. With sufficient nutrients and climate, they can grow and reproduce!

The above comes from the network.
