Native of Vs Native to

Do you know the difference between these two idiomatic phrases? Me too was searching for it today, and I got my answer. I am sharing the concept:

Use “a native of” when you’re talking about where a person was born, and is used as noun

for example: I am a native of Detroit.


Use “native to” when you’re talking about a category, characteristic, or species; and is used as adjective.

for example: Tigers are native to India.
