Doomed?

These Milkweed bug nymphs are a bit late in the season to be able to develop into adults this year; there isn't any living milkweed left for them to feed on. I'm guessing that the adult here will be able to overwinter OK, but have less confidence in the young. Who knows, though-- they have already survived a couple of hard freezes, so maybe they are hardier than I give them credit for? Glendale, Missouri
