dont no

Dutch translation:Volwassen kevers overwinteren in de grond of onder vuilnis op akkers, in tuinen of onder heggen
Explanation:
Enige moeilijkheid:
fencerow = a row that forms a fence

- a row = (o.m.) een rij planten (betekenis 4 in Van Dale)

=> een rij planten die dienst doet als omheining. Dit is volgens mij een heg. De vertaling is iets nauwer dan de bron, maar ik denk dat dit wel de betekenis is.
