    Also the weird fixation with perfectly manicured lawns with absolutely no debris and no plants touching any other plants.

    They like to lay their eggs on leaves and grasses on the ground. Doesn’t mix well with lawn mowers and rakes.

    I used to mow my parents property, and I would leave about 1/4 acre unmowed on the side, touching the treeline. They had so many fireflies hanging around the tall grass over the summers.

    This summer I moved too far to keep mowing, and they don’t leave anything, and have been complaining they haven’t seen any fireflies all summer.
