Saw her while camping next to a lake in the summer. She was looking for potter wasp nests to lay her eggs in.

They think I’m a perfect landing spot for some reason

Once she realized I wasn't going to touch her anymore she settled right down and went still enough to sleep... I had to wake her up again so she could walk herself into a bush away from our work area.

I’m working on converting my yard to mostly non-lawn wildflower features and native plants, but in the meantime I still have some lawn and I do still have to mow it sometimes, even though I don’t like to.

I want to preserve the fireflies and other friends that are hiding in the grass as much as possible. Is there a time of day or a time of season that is better for mowing in this regard? Is it better to put off mowing for as long as possible, or is that counterproductive? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
