i tried in high school and failed miserably. thats why i switched to raising mealworms. try contacting a local biological supply house. sometimes they have them for schools and such. and check on local agricultural restrictions, i know of a couple of places in Georgia and Florida and I believe South Carolina that do not allow the sale of silk worms to individuals.
