Want to See the Gulf Fritillary Life Cycle? Plant Passionflower! (Or watch this video)

WFSU Ecology Producer Rob Diaz de Villegas planted passionvine in his yard for one reason- to see new species of butterfly caterpillars in his yard. Within a few months, gulf fritillaries were laying eggs on the plant daily. Here we see every stage of the caterpillar's development, from small and nondescript to large and magnificently spikey. htttp://wfsu.org/ecologyblog
