Overwintering in insects
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several species of moth, including the November Moth, Juniper Carpet and Barred Straw, overwinter as an egg.
Fireflies overwinter (sometimes for several years, depending on the species) during the larval stage by burrowing underground and emerge in the spring.
The apple maggot overwinters as a pupa in the soil and emerges after metamorphosis into a relatively defenseless fly.
Monarch butterflies: the population east of the Rocky Mountains overwinters in Michoacán, Mexico, and the western population overwinters in various sites in central coastal California, United States, notably in Pacific Grove and Santa Cruz.
