The butterflies are still laying eggs and producing caterpillars here in November in Central Texas.
On my Passion Vine are Variegated Fritillary and Gulf Coast Fritillary caterpillars. The Gulf Fritillaries are more Orange, while the Variegated species is tan with spots along the bottom of its wings. They both use the Passion Vine as their host plant.
I also have Pipevine caterpillars on the Pipevine plant.
Tons of activity because of the temperate weather right now.
Better get a move on, winter is coming.
Know who you are gardening for.
