i genuinly curious how bugs such as flies and mosquitoos survive during winter and come back i. summer/spring, how can we eradicate mosquitoos permanently ? cold weather seems to be the optimal way so why it dont work ? do i have to move to siberia to never encounter one of those blood sucking vermin ? elp.

Depends on the insect.
Some go into Diapause. They sleep, go somewhere under ground or into wood where its not that cold and once it gets warm again they wake up and the body starts working again.
Some travel somewhere warmer like some birds do. That’s most common with some butterflies. They just travel further south were it’s warmer.
And there are those who just don’t survive, but die each year, but there eggs or some early stadium of the insect survive the winter and get born once it gets warm the next year.
