Hi,

What about all that "ultraviolet" color of flowers, and an inseccts range
of sight geared to it?

Could pawpaws have less scent, but more ultraviolet markings to attract
insects?

Just curious.

Later,
Tom

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.
