They like to live in piles of dead leaves. Between suburban neighborhoods having landscapers haul away yard waste and using pesticides to keep those lawns perfect, they have nowhere to live.

If you go to rural areas they're still around.

I'm not a lazy ass, I'm just doing my part for the pollinators and insect populations. By being a lazy ass and not giving a shit about yards beyond what in legally required to.

I've seen some of my neighbors put up signs like that "protect pollinators, don't use leaf blowers" and their yards are a chaotic mess but honestly who gives a shit lmao.
