This Gulf Fritillary ate on a wild passionflower vine and then started to pupate on a Budda Belly Jatropha right next to the passionflower. According to a book I have you can see in this photo where the "head area is becoming swollen with fluid; soon the skin will split and roll back."
from Florida's Fabulous Butterflies by Thomas Emmel.

It is a small book but it does have some nice large photographs of the butterflies and cats also includes a section on Moths.
