I have swallow tail butterflies and pawpaws, never seen a butterfly near the pawpaws in all the time I have had them. They are also supposed to be a great attractant to the Luna Moth.

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.
