Thank you so much for the ID, chesterbperry

This is a short plant, that seem to grow overnight, never seen it grow too tall, I have never seen any fruit or flower, but always have some leaves completely gone to the veins. I thought it was some kind of weed?!

I have seen so many butterflies and insects interested that I really would like to know what it is. I think it has an important role in nature.

They look like mulberry leaves, which would explain their popularity, it is not only the silk worm that finds them irresistible.
