Gulf fritillary caterpillars on passionvine host plant today. If we get a hard freeze later this week it will be the end of them.

NSFW. Two passion butterflies (gulf fritillaries, Agraulis vanillae) being passionate. Another male tries to make it a threesome. 😳

Irruption of them in S IN this year. Still mating, laying eggs, larvae eating passionvine, and in chrysalides…in mid-November, north of their normal range.
