What happens to mosquitoes in the winter?
Mosquitoes are cold blooded and, as a result, are incapable of regulating body heat. Mosquitoes cannot function below 50 degrees farenheit. With the onset of colder weather mosquitoes enter hibernation in order to survive through the winter. Some species lay hardy eggs that survive the cold to hatch in spring, while others hibernate in various developmental stages (laval, pupal).
