I had 3 different mating pairs of these today. What are they and which plants do they need?
Butterfly ID please
Oh **blushing** it's gulf frit :)
Thanks anyways!!!
Have tons of passeflora that they usually completely strip. Haven't seen "any" frits this year. Always next year.
I had one Gulf Frit this entire year. Hoping for better next year.

As to the plants...I have them all over the almond verbena, lantana, passionflowers (or what's left of them), spirea, hardy hibs, canna indicta, and salvia greggii...I can't find any verification that they limit themselves...beautiful aren't they?
They don't limit themselves for nectaring, they use many flowers for that, but the caterpillars only use passion vine to eat.
