The animals are hiding in shelters

Tarantula, who lives in summer in an earthen burrow, much of its autumn deepens. He brings it to the ice layer and it falls into a stupor pautpnovom cocoon, which constructs, criss-crossing the walls of burrows web. Insects overwintering in the adult phase, hiding in the winter in a variety of shelters. Some of them are buried in the moss, in the upper soil layers, hidden under fallen leaves, lying on the ground under the trees, under rocks. Others crawl under a lagging bark of stumps and fallen trunks, hidden in a hollow, climb into the cracks and fissures of the cortex. In those shelters are hidden and many openly living caterpillars of butterflies. Many insects find winter quarters in a molehill, in the abandoned burrows of small rodents, ground strokes in the OS. Some are held in the winter, even inside the empty stems, "horns" big umbrella - cow-parsnip, angelica. Living larvae in the soil beetles, click beetles, and other down-to deeper layers, where the soil is not frozen. Burrow deeper and butterfly caterpillars of winter moths, had been hiding on the soil surface - between her lumps and under them. There are insects that winter is open. So, the young branches or buds of conifers wintering aphids Hermes. Once in January, I found a thatched roof hut dilapidated female mosquito hanging on frost covered with straw. The temperature in the hut was 24 ° below zero, and differs little from the outside. When I took off mosquitoes and warmed them in a room, they went out of his stupor and began to stir. But such exceptions are rare. Most wintering hiding for the winter on every foxhole, trying first of all take shelter from cold winds and rains.
