  Gulf Fritillary Butterfly - Agraulis vanillae
Live adult gulf fritillary butterflies photographed at Fulton County GA and Cumberland County North Carolina.
The Gulf Fritillary is a striking, bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and sub-family Heliconiinae.
It was formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings it does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies.

biflora were Alticinae flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Heliconiinae butterfly larvae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), leaf miners (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), and whitefly "pupae" (the scale-like sessile nymphal instars; Homoptera: Aleyrodidae).
Heliconiinae butterflies oviposited on the sun plants about as often as on the shaded plants, but their larvae were most abundant on the sun plants, as also were beetles.
Wasp predators and parasitoids were equally uncommon, but they had a substantial impact on Heliconiinae eggs and larvae.

The subfamily Heliconiinae has really only been delimited as it is now since 1991, when Harvey placed the argynnines and acraeines with the heliconiines.
A recent phylogenetic study of the subfamily by Penz and Peggie suggests that the subfamily should be divided into the 4 tribes listed below.

Several species are attracted to Buddleia, a butterfly host plant.
There are four major clades within Nymphalidae, the danaine clade (subfamily Danainae), the satyrine clade (which includes the subfamilies Charaxinae, Satyrinae, Calinaginae and Morphinae), the heliconiine clade (including Heliconiinae and Limenitidinae excluding Biblidini, Cyrestini, Pseudergolini, and Coeini) and the nymphaline clade (including Nymphalinae, Apaturinae, and Coeini, Cyrestini, Pseudergolini, and Biblidini from the Limenitidinae).
The danaine clade is the most basal group and the heliconiine and nymphaline are sister groups.

 Heliconiinae Information
The Heliconiinae, commonly called Heliconians or longwings, are a subfamily of the butterfly family Nymphalidae.
They are sometimes treated as a separate family (Heliconiidae) within the Papilionoidea.

 Family Nymphalidae
At least 150 species of Nymphalids can be found in North America, with 47 occurring in Idaho.
These include the Fritillaries (Subfamily Heliconiinae), the true Brush-Foots (Subfamily Nymphalinae), and the Admirals and Relatives (Subfamily Limenitidinae).
Interesting traits demonstrated by some members of this family include lengthy migrations, territoriality, and the ability to overwinter as adults.

 Research Interests...
My interests revolve around the evolution and ecology of butterfly/hostplant interactions with a particular leaning towards the Heliconiidae (Argynninae, Heliconiinae, Acraeinae sensu nova) and the Violales (Passifloraceae, Turneraceae, Flacourtiaceae, Violaceae, Caricaceae and Malesherbiaceae) but I have recently begun some work with the mating system of a distylous plant in south Texas.
My current research program is divided into a number of initiatives that examine the evolution of plant chemical defenses and the evolution of host specialization, particularly of insects that are obligate herbivores of particular plant species due to hostplant chemistry.
Further, all available evidence suggests that Euptoieta is closely related to the Heliconiinae which are obligate herbivores of Passiflora sp.

passionflower butterfly) herbivores of the species within section Cieca will also be observed and identified to investigate the hypothesized coevolutionary relationship between the Heliconiinae and Passiflora.
The result of the proposed study will be a more extensive understanding of evolutionary relationships within a group of rapidly evolving subtropical and tropical species.

Mimicry rings where first explained by Bates (1862), who found that presumably unpalatable Ithomiinae, Danainae and Heliconiinae (danaoid and acraeoid Heliconiidae) and presumably palatable Dismorphiinae often converged in color pattern (Bates, 1862).
Batesian mimicry was used to explain mimicry between pairs of species, both of which were presumed unpalatable (Mallet and Gilbert, 1995).
Bates argued that rare, unpalatable species, such as the silvaniform known as Heliconius numata (Heliconiinae), should converge on the patterns of more common or more highly protected model species, such as Melinaea spp.
