When I moved in, I told my neighbor I only mow my yard once every 2 weeks. Something I read that said it would help the bees. He’s done the same to match. We also have lightning bugs now, which I didn’t notice the first year.
Are you supposed to do it more? When I lived with my parents and had access to a yard that's about how much we did it (cause it was annoying to do it more)
