I saw lightning bugs and dragon flies for the first time in a long time this year. Our county banned pesticides for residential and recreation areas.

  I left a lot of the leaves on my lawn this year and only thinned out the spots where they were thick enough to kill the grass. Huge increase in lightning bugs this summer.

    I reseeded my lawn with clover and saw a huge increase in all kinds of lightening bugs, bees, etc. Alos rabbits which surprised me (I'm in the middle of a dense urban area... there is a park nearby, though)

      Nice! I forgot to mention that I also added microclover the the mix last fall. The bees love the little clover flowers.

      lawn grass massively harms the environment, as do topiaries
