I guess you don't have Emporer gum moth catapillars in the Northern
states? They are first cousins (I think), and grow easily on eucalypts
or Liquidambars.

And are beautiful and are native. And the moths are wonderful,
especially when you finally release them

I know this is slightly off-topic but would anyone know if it is still
possible to buy silkworms and where one might obtain them?

I remember 'growing' them when I was a kid and I would like to share that
experience with my nephew. Of course I am looking at doing this project
later in the year when the mulberry trees have grown a few more leaves.
