The prarie garden in the backyard is succeeding! I am attracting new insects like butterflies that weren't coming to the space when it was just turfgrass. They are finding habitat and food with the plant selections found here. It is very rewarding to see this happen in a year's time. The butterfly is a Monarch (Danaus Plexippus) and the caterpillar will become an Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio Polyxenes).
