To understand what happens to mosquitoes as the weather gets cold, the first step is to look at their biology.

Many overwinter as eggs, others as larvae (caterpillars ... Grubs burrow deeper into the soil. For insects relying on diapause to make it through the winter months, long days and warmer ...

Antarctic midge survives extreme climate through quiescence and obligate diapause, key to its survival in harsh environment.

Obligate diapause is a dormant period naturally induced at a fixed time in an organism's life cycle, a rare form seen in insects in temperate regions. "We were able to establish a method for ...

"Diapause describes the dormant state that some insects enter when temperatures become too cold to survive," shares Emma Grace Crumbley, an Entomologist at Mosquito Squad. "In this state ...
