By IUGENI BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Now that insects are reap pearing in greater numbers each day, the question arises: how do cold-blooded insects live through the bitter winter months? Some pass these months as adults, some as larvae grubs or caterpillars, some as pupae in hardened shells, some as eggs, while pot a few continue their active existence regardless of freezing temperatures. To withstand the rigors of win ter, some adults decrease their body ' water and increase their other chemical contents with the result that they can be super cooled and resist below-zera tem peratures. A few migrate, notably the monarch butterfly which may make a 2,000-mile trip to warm er climes. But with most, the migration is confined to just a short distance, perhaps only from exposed tree tops to pro tected habitats. Most astonishing, some fragile- seeming butterflies live the win ter through in low shrubbery, perhaps completely enveloped as long as four months in snow and ice. Queen wasps hide under leaves in the forest; female ants. likewise, live through the win ter and start new colonies the following season. The potato bug buries itself several inches un derground. Houseflies. like many other insects, become exceedingly slug gish at about "50 degrees and to them a prolonged below -zero temperature is usually fatal. As a result, every fall, they die by the millions and billions. Only a tiny remnant pull through in shetered areas under bark and fallen leaves, although in warm barns and attics they may re main active the year 'round. Of the small group of survivors, curiously, the vast majority are fertilized females. Clothes moths remain in warm buildings until spring; cockroaches seek out dark base ments. Many Bor. Into Ground But many more insects sur vive cold winter in the larva and pupa stage. The methods are diverse. A bot-fly larvae may be found in the digestive tract of a horse; the ox-warbler larvae feed beneath the hide of cattle. The army worm, tomato worm and many others bore into the ground in the fall and emerge in the spring as adult flies, beetles or moths. (The 17-year locusts, of course, take 17 years to emerge.) Other insects pass the entire winter, in the "cocoon" chry salis there are innumerable kinds, some beautifully" marked under the protective shaggy bark of trees or in hollowed-out chambers -in the frozen ground. Another common way for in sects is to pass the winter as an egg. Among these, grassnop- perg deposit their egg in packet like masses an inch or more be neath the ground. The tent cat erpillar moth fastens its eggs on twigs in fruit trees. Eggs of plant lice are glued to various plants. Gypsy moths hide their eggs under stones, or under bark or the sides of buildings. Finally, some insects continue to reproduce throughout the year, even during January and February. Among these are many stone flies including cock roaches, chicken lice, and sheep ticks. And there is one cave beetle which is so well-adjusted to cold life that it lives its en tire existence in ice grottoes where the weather never warms up beyond one degree above freezing.
