Gulf fritillary caterpillar

This one was feeding on some bluecrown passionflower vine, (Passiflora caerulea). Gulf fritillaries are found primarily in the southern parts of the U.S., such as many regions of Texas and Florida. However, this butterfly’s range can extend from the southern U.S. into parts of Mexico and Central America and sometimes as far as parts of South America. They are also found in Hawaii.
