Jerry...or anyone...

Where do the lesser wax moths overwinter in the northern latitudes?  What life stage do they overwinter in?

I've asked Tom Seeley, Nick Calderone, and Pete Borst, but none of them had a definitive answer.

I looked in the literature.  No luck there either.

I asked my dad....scion of a long line of beekeepers, and also a logger for many years.  He says the adults overwinter under tree bark.

Is he right?
