How do Colorado potato beetles live?

The insect in question (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) begins life cycles and natural histories as numerous orange eggs that hatch into hungry larval eaters of leaves of such nightshade family members as eggplants, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. The fourth larval instar moves into a brief or overwintering pupa that matures into an adult Colorado potato beetle that will fly where needed to skeletonize nightshade family edibles.
