Sorry, the title and text weren't clear. I garden for the pollinators. Them bugs make me happy
Butterflies and bees are great, but I love seeing all the other pollenators that I rarely recognize. Native bees, beetles, and even some tiny (non stinging) wasps. I especially love that no matter what part of nature you're most interested in attracting/observing, native plants are almost always a good place to start.
Micromoths are my favorite. I studied them for a bit, and the variety in those teensy tiny little things is just amazing
I love micromoths too. we've got a micromoth called Zealandopterix zonodoxa its so cute and even has little mandibles that it can eat with. I love them so much.
