I didn’t harm them but it’s a sad memory for me bcs the smol town (or the whole valley?) I grew up in basically doesn’t have them anymore. Bcs we hate flowers/biodiversity, but love grass & pesticides I guess.

Wasp spider actually primarily live in tall grass. Big, unmown fields of grass are a great place to look for them. But I guess pesticides don't help.

Yes, you are correct, I was inaccurate in my deception of events - they systematically cut grass & nothing looks wild anymore (but also less tall grass & there are less mixed meadows).
