Insect and Spider Identification: SOLVED: Unknown Caterpiller

Author Content Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 19, 2001 3:16 PM Post #6784 This is one of many cats I found munching on my Passiflora 'Lavender Lady'. Any idea as to its future (butterfly or moth)?

Searching the web I think it's a Gulf Fritillary. This link has good information about its life cycle. http://www.sasionline.org/fritillary/fritillary.html Your passion vine collection should bring some interesting butterflies. There's many species that use passiflora as host plants. Tim Palmyra, VA (Zone 7a) June 20, 2001 2:25 PM Post #85074 Sue, THank You! What passion vines? They ate them up! :) j/k
