Yes, looks like the right ID
presumably the plant is Passionvine - that looks right too. Please include a date (even approximate if you don't know it exactly) to add value to the data for our records. You can easily unlnk these after moving them.

thanks.
thanks for the confirmation. I would guess passionvine since thats what gulf fritillaries eat.

Yes
there's nothing here to suggest it's not, though the image doesn't show a great deal of the leaf and what there is, is nibbled!
