Where do insects, flies go when it is winter?

Question

where do the millions of insects go in Winter and where would one find them? Do they hibernate?

Answer 1

Most are dead before winter, there are a few species that hibernate. It is the eggs that survive the winter, to ensure each species will be represented in summer.

Answer 2

They either hibernate or die...depends on which ones. A lot of insects lay eggs and then die...in the spring, the eggs hatch and you see a whole new generation of insects. Some hibernate underground, in trees, or wherever...ladybugs are a good example...they usually try and get into people's houses in the fall to find a place to hibernate.
