I'd gladly suffer the indignity of stepping on a few leaves if I didn't have to listen to an hour of blaring leaf-blower every Tuesday morning.
I googled and apparently it's another name for fireflies and on my list of insects that cause problems, fireflies don't make the list.
People are calling out fireflys because they are (were) very visible but it’s a problem for every species. We are replacing native plants with low pile outdoor carpet in the suburbs, and dousing everything else in pesticide
Less leaf blowing may also result in more lightning bugs / fireflies, which many people enjoy.
Also various species of bumblebee and fledgling birds, from magpies to owls.
