This is a passiflora that has been active with frittilary larvae. I've not seen any chrysalids on it, I usually get the cats before they pupate. Is this meconium or something else?

Thanks,


Maggie

Passiflora have "extrafloral nectaries" - they can produce nectar in places other than the flowers

There was an interesting thread a while back that had a Passiflora with little beads on it, pretty strange
