The Gulf Fritillary is the most common butterfly to frequent Meadowlark Ranch, at least since I've been watching.
The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Dione vanillae) is a bright orange butterfly most commonly found in the southern areas of the United States, specifically in many regions of Texas and Florida. The gulf fritillary is a medium-sized butterfly that has extended forewings and a wingspan range of 6.5 to 9.5 cm.
In my garden it really likes Lantana.
What Does a Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar Look Like?
The coloration on the caterpillar is similar to the adult butterfly.
