My kindergarden teacher/mom's good friend invested a lot of time and energy into raising silk worms. (Yearly class project was to study coccoons and butterflies and stuff.)
So she'd bring over her project to our house so she could get mulberry leaves from our back yard tree. Then they'd all make coccoons, become silk moths, mate and die. And there would be eggs for more silk worms left behind.
It's a neat project to see... but silk worms get pretty big as adults. But they don't last very long. I don't know where my mom's friend got them, but they might be easier to find through teacher resources than in your back yard.
