Where did the mosquitoes go in winter?

When the temperature drops in winter, mosquitoes will die in large numbers, and a small number of mosquitoes will hide in caves or places with heating to survive.

Mosquitoes have a relatively short life span. Female mosquitoes live longer, about 3- 100 days, and die after mating for one to two months. Male mosquitoes have a short life span, about 10-20 days, and die 7- 10 days after mating.

Summer is the "highlight moment" for mosquitoes. In winter, its normal physiological state is inhibited and it enters a state of dormancy or diapause. Often hiding in caves, cellars, cracks in walls, greenhouses, basements and other dark, warm, humid and unventilated places, can't eat or move, and the metabolism drops to the lowest point; It was not until the next spring that mosquitoes began to recover and flew out to feed and lay eggs.
