Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

I was curious if planting milkweed would really bring in a monarch. Hadn't seen one since I moved in 3 years ago. Planted swamp milkweed and butterfly weed this spring. Worked great, lots of caterpillars and monarchs already on just 8 plants. They just needed a reason to visit.
