They thrive if you don’t use pesticides and leaf blowers. I have them where I live in CT. Bonus points for letting the grass grow, though that may also attract rodents and look unsightly to the neighbors.

They were everywhere in my old home state. I have not seen them in decades now. I miss them.

Attracting rodents with tall grass saves me money in cat food

They are much less common now. Another ill-communicated effect of climate change

Not climate change, artificial illumination. As humanity spreads, it destroys more and more…

Yeah because we have our own light now, so the bugs retired

I think over spraying pesticides also harmed their numbers.
