What happens to insects during the winter?

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?

It depends: some diapause, it’s like hibernation, some exist as eggs, pupae or larvae (especially if they are aquatic or subterranean). some are just active, like snow gnats or flies.
