The temperature at which an insect spontaneously freezes is referred to as the supercooling point (SCP). For freeze-avoidant insects, the SCP is thought to be equivalent to the lower lethal temperature (LLT) of the organism. [11] The freezing process is usually initiated extracellularly in the gut, tissues, or hemolymph. In order to supercool ...
