The "cold phenomenon" in butterflies is generally known as diapause or hibernation (a form of dormancy), which are survival strategies to endure cold temperatures.
Butterflies are ectothermic (cold-blooded), meaning they cannot regulate their own body temperature and rely on external heat sources. When temperatures drop, they must adapt to survive.
