Mulberry leaves

[SSimsswiSS]

This is my favorite time of year. With the days getting longer, and the leaves returning to the mulberry trees. Besides raising silkworms up on the leaves, you can also feed the leaves to crickets and roaches. Like all green leafy things, use the darkest of green leaves.

Is there anywhere in OC where you can purchase Silkworms? I don't like to pay for shipping if i don't have to.
