[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fireflies lay their eggs in damp soil under leaf litter. When you were growing up did people bag and eradicate every leaf that fell? They sure seem to now. Also spraying for mosquitos kills everything. We still get fireflies but most of our neighbors don't.[/quote] This! We get many in our yard but the immaculate yards do not. We also get more birds and butterflies.[/quote] I don't let my kids catch fireflies though because figure that they'd break their legs or wings. We leave the leaves and drag over the neighbors' piles for 3 years now. In our small yard, we have fireflies, and a nice variety of pollinators from awesome looking harmless predator wasps to tiny bees. Very well pollinated, raspberries full of fruit. Amazing how quickly life comes back if given a place to exist. [/quote]
