Best Answer

I can say that many insects go through a natural hibernation period in the cold months. For example I know, as an gardener, that you can freeze Spider Mites for up to six months and they will come back to life.
It all depends on how cold you freeze them and for how long I suppose.

• Well do it and let us know what happens... I saw a street magician do a trick where he brings a seemingly dead common house-fly back to life, but the trick was he put a live fly into the fridge for 10 minutes, it comes out looking dead, but after a minute or two at room temperature it wakes up, cool..!
• Yes if you come up with some way to reverse the freezing process instantly and if you had frozen the beetle instantly.
  
  But you being what I can only guess is a twelve year old girl, NO you would just cruelly freeze the horrid creature to death.
• You already know the answer. Only virus and some bacteria can survive freezing for more than a few hours.
