What happens to insects during the winter?

Question

During the winter, bugs like mosquitoes almost disappear. I guess they die off because it’s so cold. But then summer comes and they’re everywhere again. This happens every year. How does this happen?

Answer 1

Some insects hibernate in the winter, like some beetles, flies, mosquitos, bees and wasps. They can hibernate in the ground, trees, leaves.

Some other insects migrate, like butterflies and moths.

Of course, a lot die.
