Bit by Bit

Where do mosquitoes go in the winter? What about the dragonflies that hunt them? The turtles lying lazily on sunny logs just next to a lake's surface - where are they all winter long?  Under snow, under ice, under water. Fish, the larvae of many flying insects and reptiles and amphibians like frogs and turtles slumber far below the white cold world in the darkness and relative warmth (about 4 degrees Celsius) of pond and lake bottoms in the winter. Try to imagine that transition - dazzling sunlight, wind, warm or cool oxygen-rich air and then for several long months a wet uniform darkness and stillness.
