Thanks Brian! Garden is full of them this year. I planted Paso flora incarnata last year and it is huge this year. I noted that this species likes that as a host plant and lantana so it makes sense.
Great spotting Chris - of the 800 plus spottings of the Gulf fritillary on PN - yours is the most northerly (geographically) that I could find.
