“Basically, I think we just need to be a little less tidy and a little more tolerant of ‘weeds’ and I think insects and therefore lots of other species would benefit.”
Interesting read, as a kid I wondered if the leafblower noise hurt any critters within the leaves…
also just in general stop removing fallen leaves from places where there is soil, fallen leave help keep the ground warm in the fall n winter which helps more bugs and fungi carry on durring those times, leaves are susposed to fall cover the ground, insulate it, and rot back into soil for spring plants
when you rake up and leaf blow away your leaves youre not only depleating your yard of vital nutrients and preventing it from creating new top soil but youre ruining lots of bugs and microfauna chances at over wintering
