This little guy had just hatched I think since it was sitting to what looked like an empty eggsack. He is currently munching on my Maypop passionvine. Any help is appreciated, THANKS!

It looks to me like the caterpillar of a Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae). According to my reference book, they eat passion-vine.

This appears to be a larva of a gulf fritillary, Agraulis vanillae incarnata (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) - see http://tinyurl.com/24pgao9 for images and detailed information,
