Agraulis vanillae - Gulf Fritillary caterpillar - Agraulis incarnata
Skidaway Island, Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia, USA
August 19, 2020
Size: app 6 mm
I was examining the underside of the leaves of our our Maypops(Passiflora incarnata) plants on the front trelllies of our 152 yard "Pollinator Garden Berm. There were two very small caterpillars on one leaf. I believe they are 1st stage Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) instars. There are, what I believe to be, early morning dew drops on the end of some black bristles. I have included an image of the passionvine host plants! Please identify?

I also have an egg, located on the top of a leaf. I will forward in a following submission!
