<<Wax moths can survive up to six months in protected  situations, so it is 
more likely than they are overwintering than that they  migrate.

PLB>>
 
Whuich wax moth are you thinking of? Where I am (Birmingham UK), lesser wax 
 moth is endemic, and I wouldn't doubt for a moment that it overwinters. 
But  greater wax moth is largely found further south, and while it appears  
occasionally, it shows no evidence of overwintering at all.
