My Word: Hundreds of bird species imperiled in North America.

Many birds that might normally feed primarily on seeds or fruit, feed their young almost exclusively on the larval form of the insects butterflies and moths — caterpillars. Caterpillars are soft, very digestible, and protein rich. Tallamy then pointed out that insects, such as butterflies and moths, have co-evolved with native plants and trees, so much so that they rely almost 100 percent on native plants and trees for food. Insects virtually cannot and do not feed on non-native plants and trees.
