Hibernation is primarily observed in various species of mammals, such as bears, bats, and ground squirrels, allowing them to conserve energy during periods of cold weather and food scarcity. Some reptiles and amphibians also exhibit a form of hibernation known as brumation, which involves a similar state of dormancy. Additionally, certain insects, like ladybugs and some species of butterflies, enter a state of diapause, which is akin to hibernation. This survival strategy helps these animals endure harsh environmental conditions.

Diapause is a period of time when an insect does not grow. It is especially effective and efficient when food and water are scarce.
give me the answer please
Diapause, has great advantages to the species in that if one young dies, another embryo can quickly take its place.
Flies do live in the cold, but they are not generally out in the open. They usually take shelter in holes or crevices in warm places like homes.
Hibernation slows down the heartbeat more, and is more like a coma. They are woken up less easily. Their brain waves are also different.
Yes. Like kangaroos, rock-wallabies do have embryonic diapause. They may indeed keep the development of the embryo in suspension until the optimum time for birth.
Birds do not hibernate. Instead, they use a variety of mechanisms to survive colder climates, such as migrating to warmer areas, fluffing up their feathers to trap heat, or lowering their metabolic rate to conserve energy during colder months. Some birds, like chickadees, may enter a state of torpor on cold nights to save energy, but this is different from hibernation.
Embryonic diapause is, in layman's terms, the ability of a female kangaroo to suspend the development of the embryo during gestation so that it is not born when conditions might compromise its survival, e.g. during drought. Almost all marsupial macropods have the unique feature of embryonic diapause, especially the larger and mid-sized species, such as the red kangaroos, and also many species of wallabies. Even Gilbert's potoroo, a smaller macropod, exhibits embryonic diapause. The smallest member of the kangaroo family, the musky-rat kangaroo, does not appear to have embryonic diapause; nor do some of the tree kangaroos.
After hibernation, chipmunks go to find love, then get ready for next hibernation.
