Mark,

I don't know any specific location, but I was talking to my son's teacher
last fall and she said that for some of their science projects, like watching
a caterpillar turn into a cocoon, then a butterfly, that there are some
educational website that you can order from. Perhaps that would be a place
to start.

This is off topic but I ask your indulgence.

I'm interested in bringing zebra swallowtail butterflies to my pawpaw patch.
Pawpaws are (almost) the sole source of food for the caterpillar of this
butterfly, and since pawpaws are not native to Rhode Island there are no such
butterflies here. I have sixty-odd pawpaw trees, which should be enough to
support a population. I'm looking for advice, suggestions, and a way to get
hold of some cocoons of this butterfly.
