Gulf Fritillary Butterflies and Caterpillars

Written by Jackie D'Elia  |  Published on September 18, 2011

The passion flower vine is a favorite of Gulf Fritillary butterflies (Agraulis vanillae) and host plant for their young caterpillars. I captured these shots at Buchanan’s Native Plants nursery last week.

    I believe I have the Gulf Fritillary catterpiller on my miniture pansies. Where do they go from there? How long do I leave the plants there? Thanks
