Any ideas what kind of butterfly this will be?

I have these guys covering all of my passion vines. Any ideas on what they will turn out to be?

Marie,

Those are Gulf Fritillary caterpillars!!! Congrats!!! The butterflies are beauties! Hope you put those cats back on the passion vines :o)

Here's what a Gulf Frit looks like. Am sure you've seen them flitting around your vines looking for the perfect place to lay eggs :o)

...and the underside of the wings...it has a gorgeous salmon coloring on the underside of the forewings as well as lots of silver lined markings.
