Gulf Fritillary


a hole bunch of Gulf Fritillary butterflies are making their home in our passion flower vine.

I went out this morning to check the mail and while i didn't find any mail i did find a Gulf Fritillary caterpillar. we have had few Gulf Fritillarys flying around our passion flower for the past few weeks. Laura wasn't sure when they lay their eggs.

First i saw this guy. he was right below our mail box.


Then I saw this (the only one i could find):


and after looking around i started seeing them all over the place:


One of the adults was kind enough to sit still so i could take a picture.


here are some links to info about the Gulf Fritillary:
