Making native plant seed bombs (AKA seed balls) is a great way to engage friends and family into helping you save the world! Well… you will at least save some pollinators and maybe some of the plants and predators that depend on them. Native plants evolved with the other players in their local eco-game, which means that some insects (like moths and butterflies) have evolved to resist some of the natives' toxins. Those plants that they have evolved an "immunity" to become the plants that they lay their eggs on. It's the plants their larvae (caterpillars) feed on. (Think monarch and milkweed). Many moths and butterflies can only lay their eggs on one or a handful of related plants that they evolved with. Once those plants are gone, so are the butterflies. And since songbirds feed insects (especially caterpillars) to their young, less native plants also means less songbirds. So let's plant the plants that are native to our regions!!! Seed bombs are a fun way to do that.
