Yeah, pretty sure your lawn has almost nothing to do with insects vanishing. It's much more likely the insane amounts of highly potent pesticides we put directly into our food chain. Those pesticides obviously aren't classified as pollution so we aren't polluting, we're killing the environment on purpose.
Btw. The development and use of neonicotines corelate quiet nicely with the drop in the insects population.
