Description
I created this macro photo of a Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar at the Circle b B Bar Reserve in Polk county, Florida during late October of 2018. The Gulf Fritillary Butterfly is also known as the "Passion Butterfly" because the Passiflora vine is the sole food of Gulf Fritillary Larvae. This Gulf Fritillary Larva was feeding on an older Passion Flower leaf in full bright sunshine. Both Passion Vines and Agraulis vanilla butterflies are common at the Circle B Bar Reserve.
