	SDNHM - Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae
		The Gulf Fritillary is a relatively large butterfly; wings span 2 5/8 - 3 1/8 inches.
		The chrysalis is a mottled gray, resembling a dry, curled leaf as it hangs near the vine, often from the fence on which the vine is growing.
		The courtship behavior of the Gulf Fritillary is worth noting: males land in front of females and clap their wings repeatedly, close enough to catch the female's antennae between them.

	Life cycle of the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		This is the Gulf Fritillary enjoying a much needed rest on this hot day, I followed her and she laid a single egg on the top of a leaf so I took a photo of the host plant and proceeded to take the egg home to attempt to monitor it's growth and lifecycle.
		This is the host plant that she decided to lay the egg on and she laid the egg on the top of the leaf which I thought was a little strange, since most other butterflies lay their eggs on the bottom of the leaf or on plants very close to the ground.
		The caterpillar just above it and to the right is another Gulf Fritillary that had just gone through an instar, or a shedding of the skin which during that time it didn't move for almost two days but it almost doubled in size during this change.

	Life Cycle of the Gulf Fritillary
		Later, after seeing now and then a certain butterfly laying eggs on the passion flower vine throughout the winter and finding caterpillars, I learned that it was the Gulf Fritillary Agraulis vanillae, that uses the passion flower vine for its larval foodplant.
		All the adults, when ready to fly, were released in my yard where the egg had been laid or the caterpillar was collected.
		By watching the Gulf Fritillary in my yard, it was not too difficult to find one of its bright yellow eggs.

		Female Gulf Fritillaries have an organ at the tip of their abdomen called a "stink club," which emits strong scents (pheromones) that either attract or repel males, depending on the female's receptive state.

		They are not common to the Sonoran Desert but are sometimes seen here on their push southward in late summer and early fall.

	Life Cycle of the Gulf Fritillary page 2
		The Gulf Fritillary is a sub-tropical butterfly and does not have a diapause, a period where all activity stops.
		It just slows down when the temperature lowers and speeds up when it gets warmer regardless of which stage it is in.
		For instance: an egg may hatch within three days in the heat of summer (remember this is Tucson), and it may take several months for the adult to develop in the chrysalis in the winter.

		The main species that visits our gardens is the Gulf fritillary (Agraulis vanillae incarnata), which is not a fritillary at all but related to the butterflies of the genus Heliconius: a huge group of neotropical species famous for being mimicked by other genera.
		The heliconids are supposedly unpalatable to birds because their main food source as larvae is the passionflower, which gives them a nasty taste.
		The wings of the Gulf fritillary are orange with small fl spots on top and brown with large white spots underneath.
