The Connection Between Straight Species Native Plants & Larval Caterpillars

Pertaining to perennials, It is only straight species plants, trees & shrubs, and herbs that feed larval caterpillars for butterflies like the Swallowtails and Mourning Cloaks, and  moths like the Luna. Urban & suburban landscapes have been replaced with cultivars and/or "nativars" which stop the life cycle of butterflies and moths in their tracks.
