Yeah, they draw aphids away from the rest of the garden. This attracts the ladybugs to eat the aphids. That draws the praying mantises that eat other bugs. I've used this trick in my garden the last two years and haven't had a problem with bad insects, even the tomato worms, etc. leave my garden alone.

The leaves hold water in a way that makes it look like a pool of mercury, very fun to play with.
