LogisticCobwebs

Here is an app for cobwebbing the logistics equation for parameter values λ in [0,5]. Use the sliders to alter the parameter values, starting point, and the length of the orbit. Look for orbit properties like convergence to a fixed or periodoc point, or divergence. And look for interesting behavorial changes when altering values for λ. In particular, look for bifurcation values.
