I would not buy larvae or cocoons. I would jsut buy host plants and wait for the moths. I have been doing that. In summer I will make a post on how my BBB garden is doing

Larvae eat like pigs and cocoons as I have read online can die easily with incorrect temperatures for the season

Do you actually get a large amount of species at the plants? When do they come?

 
They come in summer and last year I got 52 monarchs caterpillars. I wish I could sell them but I can legally only sell them to people here in CA. Then I got Mourning cloaks, Gulf Fritilaries, and a few others I can not name off the top of my head
