Good morning David,

I have a large section of wild passion fruit vine growing on my property. The painted lady or fritillary caterpillars love it. They stay within the vine, eat until they are plump then make their chrysalis and hatch a few weeks later. Is this the same butterfly you are looking for? Are they related? What plants are they attracted to?
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
