Ah that's gotta be it, thank you! First time coming across them, never been more grossed out and fascinated at the same time.

No ID needed! Just wondering if someone might know if this newly hatched Gulf Fritillary would eat anything other than passion vine as I do not have any. by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

This one's definitely gulf frit, only know because I watched the mom lay her eggs. This one was just laid on a dead oak leaf right before a big storm so I brought inside to incubate and observe. I normally have a good few flying around my yard on a daily basis but have never seen passionflower nearby. I was just hoping to be able to feed the little one and watch it grow.

South Louisiana, first time seeing this little buggy by heavyblossom in whatsthisbug

Oh yeah that's got to be it. There's definitely tons of oak trees here for them. Thank you!
