I had a Black ST cat on my rue, it was about half grown, then suddenly
croaked, looked like a parasite or another bug got it, as it was just
hanging lifelessly. (As an aside, I read somewhere that the fall weather
brings on the darker color of the cats.) I would think your cats will
survive unless the cold temps are sustained for long periods, like days.
Could it throw them into early pupation, resulting in a small version next
spring? I don't know.
