Friendly reminder that lightning bugs need tall grasses present in addition to wildflowers and leaf litter. You can also improve their survival rates by removing artificial lighting or even just setting any safety lighting (like motion activated lamps) to their shortest "on" duration. Another obvious step is to avoid pesticides.

My lack of mowing gives us a light show every summer night.

Man im working so hard to be that yard, but its not as easy as just stop mowing!

Always on the lookout for invasives, poison ivy, tree sapplings (my yard isnt big enough to support any more trees without threatening the house), and other undesirables.

Then theres also the english ivy encroaching from the corner that I've pretty much given up on :/

It's great that you're helping your native plants stand against the invasives, they're like the schoolyard bullies of the backyard.

My yard is the only reason we have frogs and dragonflies.
