  Yeah, leaving leaf coverage is great for all kinds of larvae. Leaving them alone also slows weeds from growing and as the leaves break down they fertilize the soil.

  The modern problem is that there are not enough critters roaming around to naturally step on foliage to break them down.

    So some sort of cylinder with animal feet attached, I drag it over the yard a couple times through the fall and winter?

  I think it depends on the species. Also, most species have non-flying females.
