Giant Silk Moths have become my absolute favorite things to raise. Why? The caterpillar phase is lengthy and their growth is phenomenal.
Adding host plants to your garden (plants the caterpillars will eat) transforms your Butterfly Garden into a Butterfly Habitat. A Habitat will support a butterfly through all stages of its development.
Lori Harris, owner of Salt Creek Butterfly Farm, raises butterflies and silk moths for programs at libraries, schools and senior citizen residences, but she wants to teach people about more than the insects.
