I found 7 tiny gulf fritillary caterpillars on my passion vine last December, when I brought it in the house for the winter. One caterpillar died, but the other 6 have successfully made it to the chrysalis stage. Three of them grew fast and got really big, while the other 3 grew a bit slower and stayed smaller. I am looking forward to watching them elcose. They will be a beautiful introduction to a new year. I am hoping to do a lot more gardening and create a better backyard habitat for butterflies and other creatures this year.
