Just so we're clear here, you're whole argument here is that people shouldn't mow the lawn b/c it causes stinging insects, but at the same time doesn't cause stinging insects? What is your point exactly?

Well if you read the link, I believe the point was that some plants attract stinging insects and others repel them. Also, stings. You'll live.
