Plants by Dr. Doug
Tallamy, Timber Press, 2007Typical gardens often are barren wastelands to native
insects and thus birds.   Almost all
North American birds other than seabirds — 96 percent — feed their young with
insects and caterpillars, which contain more protein than beef.Gardeners could slow the rate of extinction of our
native wildlife and birds by including native plants in their yards. A
patch of violets will feed fritillary caterpillars. A patch of phlox could
support eight species of butterflies. The buttonbush shrub, which has little
white flowers, feeds 18 species of butterflies and moths; and blueberry bushes
support 288 species of moths and butterflies.
