Yes, some Fly Predators will overwinter. Because Fly Predators are endemic to the US, they are well equipped for extreme temperatures. As fall approaches, some developing Fly Predators will go into diapause (similar to hibernation). Winter survival varies by species and severity of the winter and can range from 5% to 50% survival after 120 days.
