good habitat for predatory and parasitic insects
Is what the Royal Horticultural Society has to say about such plants.
Such insects include earwigs, spiders and chrysopids (lacewings/Florfliegen).
This website has quite a lot about them:

Gründüngung can also be considered to be a cover crop - I always plant phacelia in late autumn and let it rot on the surface. Cut back, it is excellent ground cover and the roots bind nitrogen in the soil.
