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.~~

People of Lemmy don't know what civility means.

Hold some restraint maybe in assuming you know everything.
