Household insect-decline pressure audit (outdoor lighting + lawn mowing frequency) — site / national.

Audit your property's outdoor lighting and lawn mowing frequency against two real insect-decline pressure studies. Most household pollinator advice stops at planting flowers, but two ordinary, site-controllable choices -- what kind of outdoor light stays on at night, and how often the lawn gets mowed -- carry their own measured, sometimes counterintuitive effects on local insect abundance that a flower bed alone never offsets.

Offer to pay $105. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A homeowner walks the yard at dusk with a phone flashlight app measuring color temperature at each outdoor fixture, then paces off the lawn's current mowing interval on a garden calendar.

Pay

$105 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Every outdoor light fixture inventoried by type and color temperature + Any white LED lighting flagged as the strongest measured pressure + Lawn mowing schedule recorded against the biweekly interval + No-Mow-May-style claim never repeated as evidence + Uncertain pesticide or invasive-species finding routed to extension

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

No special training is needed. Household-pressure observation and coaching audit only, never a pesticide, lighting-code, or landscaping design service, and never claim that eliminating a pressure guarantees more insects on this property; state only the cited studies' own measured directions.

The full safety list for this job:

• The Boyes 2021 study measured moth caterpillars specifically; its findings are reported as evidence for nocturnal insects broadly, not proof of an identical effect size for every insect group.
• The Lerman 2018 study was conducted in one New England city over two growing seasons with 16 yards; its own authors note results may not generalize to every ecoregion, stated here as the same honesty limit.
• The retracted Del Toro & Ribbons 2020 'No Mow May' study is named ONLY as an example of a claim this standard does not rely on, never repeated as if it were still valid evidence.
• No pesticide, herbicide, or chemical recommendation of any kind is made from this packet; any such question routes to the local cooperative extension office.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
