Thought I saw a firefly on the trail last week. Probably not. Haven’t seen one since I bought this house 8 years ago. Not one. And at that time? Only one.
I’ve got a pretty wild yard. We’ve brought frogs back, and next year I hope dragonflies mature and come boiling out my little water features. Pretty sure we’re driving the butterfly population, and the hummingbirds are slightly more populous than last year.
But my god man, I’m only one person, with one yard, and I’m nearly broke. I have 40+ guns, but I can’t go out and fight fascism by myself. I want to scream and rage, but I do what I can do, defend what I can.
I’ve never seen a firefly, they don’t come this far south. We do have dragonflies, and I still see plenty of lizards, and unfortunately the squash bugs are doing fine, but the city of bees that used to appear when this one random bush bloomed by the garden never comes around anymore, and I can fearlessly turn over bricks piled in the yard, that used to be a nightmare with a palmetto bug under every one!
From what I know, fireflies love dead leaves and laying eggs under those. So don’t rake the leaves! Let them be. Or some of them at least. We haven’t raked leaves from under our bushes for ages and we always get some fireflies in the summer now!
