silk worms

Hello my expat peeps,
Yes, you read the subject correctly.  Inspired by a recent off-island trip, I have become fascinated with silkworms.  Do any of you eco-knowledgeable folks know if there are any silkworms in Puerto Rico or if they can be imported?

Instructions on their care and supplies here:
Ask them about importing, I do not think it will be an issue since the insect form has lost its ability to fly.

I assume you are going to use them to feed some other animal or fish and not starting a new silk shop since you do not have the space for a commercial setting.

What do you plan to do with them?
