Do day lillies benefit wildlife?

I didn't know where to post this question. I've been noticing the plantings around the businesses near my new office. There are a bunch of new professional buildings that went up near a new hospital, and every one has day lillies. I understand the attraction (kind of) but I don't think a single insect or bird benefits from them being around. It seems like such a waste of an investment. Can anyone correct me and tell me they are an excellent nectar source or a host for a little-known moth? I desperately want to sprinkle some seeds around, but they'd just get sprayed with chemicals. Any thoughts?
