Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar - Agraulis vanillae

Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar - Agraulis vanillae
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
September 13, 2009
Absolutely amazing! This year, I have a single, small passion vine on my deck. In a three-acre yard, a female found that plant. Sunday, I saw a female flying around it, so I checked it our. I found two cats, which promptly went into the nursery. Hopefully, I have enough plant for these little pigs to eat.

Piggy Update: They have eaten all the leaves and are half way down the stems. I have not seen them eat the stems before. I hope they pupate soon.
