Reply to comment by allsystemsslow in How do insects survive winter? How do northenly climates have any insects? by failedtalkshowhost

I just heard this for the first time. I wanted to do a final mow to clean up the remaining leaves in the yard before winter and I was advised not to for this reason. The early cold sealed the deal: you’re safe from me, bugs.

I'll pick up and mulch the leaves on my lawn, but leave all my planting areas alone. I've got a few acres of woods that the bugs can hang out in, too. The leaves help protect your plants over the winter, too.
