Don and Becky,
I too was enamored of the "Zeb" and I did ton s of research! Here's what I discovered...
They really like my "Corky" or Passiflora suberose. You can get it from Native nurseries. They also seem to want the plant up off the ground and in the shade. I have pots of them on an old iron corner rack in the shade of my garden. They laid eggs all over it last summer and I was able to raise maybe a dozen. They did lay the occassional egg in the tendrils of my "Maypop" but by fay they preffered the Corky! Good luck!
Oh! The babies look like "Fritt" babies in their 1st instar. If you look through a magnifying glass they are orange with 1 black dot on their back....they'll turn white in a few days. Becky if you want I can send you a plant...just D mail me.
