Given that you are asking in a thread that is the subject of fireflies, we are going to assume you are asking for suggestions to improve firefly accommodations.

In this regard, do not ever clean your yard of any loose leaf vegetation or damp rotting vegetation and it will attract fireflies. Do not remove the weeds unless you can positively identify they are harmful to people, or are invasive non-indigenous. Go to nearby privately owned plant nurseries and ask them for native species for your garden. They will be significantly more expensive to purchase from, and will likely be less aesthetically pleasing plants.

If you don’t care about insects, and are asking simply to project to us a fake progressive personality, then resume decorating your yard with non-native invasive species from your local commercial/franchise garden center, from what it sounds you are currently doing.

What are you doing about this? All I see is people posting complaints like you are, and massive protests being completely ignored by everyone. Republicans only respect violence, and the left doesn’t value violence so we are left looking like limp impotent bitches.

It’s likely because of the recent storms causing damp leaf and damp vegetation clutter, which is what they like to hide in during the day, where they lay eggs, and where they live.

You clearing your yard of all the leaves into non-biodegradable plastic bags into the dumpster and having an ugly as fuck monoculture grass lawn isn’t helping these insects recover from being at risk of going extinct.
