What impact do those long and low cold temperatures have on insect populations like ticks, mosquitos, chiggers, butterflies, bees, in temperate regions?

I’m a hiking, camping and trail running enthusiasts who often deals with ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, etc. I was wondering what will those low temperatures for the past 2 weeks will have on those populations.

Some species of ticks can tolerate the cold for long periods, like the Deer tick.  Others will freeze to death.  Chiggers die below 42, but the eggs can survive. Mosquitos will die below 40, but if they have laid their eggs in water, the eggs will survive till the spring thaw.

Butterflies can die if ice crystals form on their wings and body.  Most that don't migrate to warmer climates will die.

Bees that have hives create their own heat source and can easily survive winter time.  They are inactive because of the lack of flowers, but active in the hive while waiting out their frosty lockdown.
