Interesting.

I don't know much but -- dill is a big beneficial attractor in my garden too. Other plants with umbel flowers are also good, like parsley and yarrow.

But, like my avatar says, wildflowers are the best attractors. Smiling I know they usually aren't invited to the garden but maybe they can be left to grow nearby somewhere. Right now, the Black-eyed Susans are full of bugs, some bad but many good. But I guess it makes sense that the good bugs will follow where they can find the pests that they like to eat.
May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb
