I live in coastal Georgia and have recently noticed moths or some kind of
bugs in the grass. When I cut grass yesterday lots of bugs would fly out of
grass ahead of the mower. Grass is quite wet from lots of rain and
sprinklers. Any idea what they might be? and what I should do to eliminate
these bugs. I am assuming having these insects in grass is not good for
grass.


Same thing happens when I mow (upstate NY). My lawn's unbelievably healthy,
and I do nothing but mow correctly. Leave the bugs alone unless your grass
has problems

***AND*** ---notice the big "and"

...you're positive that you're not causing problems in some other way, like
mowing too low, etc.



A disadvantage I found.

Wasps hunt the grubs. when I step on the wasps, it hurts.
