Agraulis vanillae
Another spotting of caterpillars on the passionflower vine. Gulf fritillaries share this host plant with Variegated Fritillaries, but the lack of white spots makes successful ID of this specimen possible.
Habitat: Pastures, open fields, second-growth subtropical forest and edges, city gardens. Range: South America north through Central America, Mexico, and the West Indies to the southern United States. Wanders north to the central United States; rare northward.
