How do Baldface Hornets mate?
Male baldface hornets and young queens mate during the late summer and early fall. Mating occurs in the air, with the male transferring sperm to the queen. After mating, the male dies, and the mated queen seeks out a suitable overwintering site to hibernate until the following spring.
How long can stink bugs stay under water?
According to Michael L. Boyd Assistant Praffesar of Entomology State Extension Entomology Specialist. "A stink bug's life expectancy is highly variable. Weather, predation, parasitism, and food availability and quality all play an important role in how long a stink bug may live. This figure may represent days, weeks, and even months. For example, green stink bugs like other stink bugs overwinter in the adult stage, and overwintering adults may live as long as seven to nine months. Checking countless Web sites, searching for "stinkbug" and "lifespan" via Google. Bottom line is, it varies quite a bit based on the species. Can you be more specific? People assume that all animals are born with very specific characteristics that each member must strictly adhere to. This is not true, I imagine the life-span for a stink-bug is highly variable by individual, although, in higher latitudes, I imagine they can't live through winter. But sometimes they seem like they live forever in summer.
How many times can a yellow jacket sting before it dies?
Yellow jackets (wasps) have smooth stings which do not get trapped so when the insect stings it has no problem removing it. For this reason it can sting multiple times. If it does so, and runs out of venom it will soon produce more. It is not possible to put a maximum on the number of times the insect can sting.
What insect can survive the coldest temperatures?
Most insects from cold regions can endure freezing temperatures. The coldest recorded insect is down to -60C. That's right negative 60. This was characterized in 3 larva. What the specific name it is. I didn't feel like going to the library for somebody on Wiki. But if you feel like looking it up here is the info and abstract.Cold-hardiness strategies of some adult and immature insects overwintering in interior Alaska.Miller, KComparative Biochemistry and Physiology, A [COMP. BIOCHEM. PHYSIOL., A.]. Vol. 73A, no. 4, pp. 595-604. 1982.A variety of adult and immature insects, most of which occupy highly exposed habitats, successfully overwinter in interior Alaska. A number of adult beetles are feezing-tolerant. All exhibit relatively high supercooling points and synthesize large quantities of polyhydric alcohols in response to cold. At least four other orders are represented by adult insects that tolerate freezing, but in contrast to adult beetles, all exhibit relatively low supercooling points associated with the build-up of glycerol. At least three species of larvae that overwinter in galls undergo a remarkable increase in supercooling capability (to ca. -- 60 degree C) associated with synthesis of large quantities of glycerol in winter. None of the larvae tested could survive freezing in spite of their high glycerol levels.
How can I successfully prepare my lavender plants for overwintering?
To successfully prepare lavender plants for overwintering, trim them back in the fall to remove dead growth, mulch around the base to protect roots from freezing, and place them in a sheltered location with good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
How can I ensure successful overwintering of my fuschia plant?
To ensure successful overwintering of your fuchsia plant, you can bring it indoors before the first frost, place it in a cool and bright location, water it sparingly, and protect it from drafts. Additionally, you can prune the plant to promote healthy growth during the winter months.

How can I successfully prepare and care for overwintering garlic in my garden?
To successfully prepare and care for overwintering garlic in your garden, plant the cloves in well-drained soil in the fall, mulch the area to protect the cloves from freezing temperatures, and water the garlic regularly during dry periods. Harvest the garlic in the summer when the leaves start to turn yellow and dry.

What do ladybugs eat when it snows?
Nothing is generally what the ladybug [Coccinellidae family] eats when it snows. Winter is the time that a ladybug tends to go somewhat dormant. During the cold season, the ladybug priority becomes overwintering somewhere safe and warm. But inside a house, it's possible that an overwintering ladybug still may be pursuing a terminator role regarding such household pests as mites.
