Anyone know a good place to order caterpillars?

[Riven]

We want to raise some butterflies for our butterfly garden! Anyone know of a good place to order some?

All I can seem to find are the painted ladies or bright whites, both of which are abundant around here.

I'm looking for monarch, swallowtails, and mourning cloaks ( which can be found and survive here ).

There is a breeder in Iowa who does live butterflies for weddings and I have contacted them to see if they will sell caterpillars as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions?!

Check out Monarchwatch.org. They sell rearing kits - http://shop.monarchwatch.org/product.aspx?c=rearing_kits(base)&p=113232(base)

ETA - Live Monarch also sells monarch eggs to rear.

I've purchased rearing tents from Live Monarch. They have very nice pop-up tents that have 1 clear side to make watching caterpillars and pupae very easy.

What a beautiful idea! I don't know where to find them but I hope you do and that they all stay in your garden.

I have no idea where to get them at. I tried searching it.
