All plants attract insects, some more than others. Obviously, a fruiting plant will attract more than a non fruiting plant, but every type of plant has at LEAST one species that will attack it. Remember, plants are the basis of the food chain, the ENTIRE food chain. plant eating insects (herbivorous) will be attracted to a plant that has the most to give them, nutritionally speaking, but any plant may be preyed upon by species adapted to feed specifically on it, like the Boll Weevil, and the Cotton plant, or Cabbages, and the Cabbage moth. Even plants that only have a couple of predator species that can eat them will attract other (insectivorous) bugs, if only to prey on the other insects there (think Ladybugs, and Aphids). So the answer to this is ALL of them attract insects.
