Does anyone breed butterflies or know where to get larvae? We're going to be doing a butterfly release (hopefully) at a memorial. They would have to be native to Iowa. The goal date is August 14th, so they would need to emerge close to that date. Thanks, guys!

If you want a really easy one, try species in the Genus Vanessa (painted ladies)
They are easily reared on a wide range of plants, but prefer mallow. large areas of field mallow (common weed in urban locations) should yield quite a few caterpillars.

Thank you!!
Thank you for the tip! I'll look into that.
