  Maybe, but I haven’t seen one in decades in our area. Used to see them every summer. I’ve thought about that for a while, even before this.

      Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.

      Raking of leaves isn’t really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

        See also: folks who insist on collecting all grass clipping when they mow. It’s free fertilizer that helps save some water. Some folks care too much about a golf course lawn that they fail to realize the obvious benefits to slight adjustments to their practices

    Same here, but if I drive a few miles out of the city, they’re out and about.

    Just to be sure, have you lived at the same address for all these years? I haven’t, so it’s hard to compare then & now for me.

      I haven’t lived at the same address but I now live in a small enough town I’ve seen deer, turkeys and bald eagles from my yard, but I grew up in the suburbs where a raccoon was the wildest thing I ever saw

        I think they’re more common in the suburbs
