My girls and I have caught different worms then fed them to see what that hatched out as. Interesting enough the brightest worms don't seem to make the prettiest butterflies. The big bright green tomato worms are actually ugly brown moths. We know a lady that orders butterfly eggs and that is really neat. Some of them take a long time to "hatch".
My dad told us about the time he had a bunch of these bright colored worms in his garden. He was using them to fish with. He said the fish went crazy over them. Then he found out they were Monarch butterflies so he quit using them.
County, you will have to take pictures when you start setting up your butterfly habitat. Are you going to fence in the butterflies or just watch them? The OKC zoo has a nice butterfly exhibit if you want ideas on setting up an netted in area. Anyway you choose to observe your butterflies will be amazing.
