I have little moths in my back lawn. They jump up and fly around when we walk on the lawn particularly in the evening. What are they are what do you recommend ?

They are probably adult sod web worms. They don't seem to do much damage. The larvae eat new emerging grass blades. If the lawn seems to be thinning where you see them, just about any grass insecticide will take care of them.

I wondered what the birds were eating.
