Currently Happening in My Garden
My Passion Flower vines are disappearing and I don't care because there is a very good reason!
Leaves and Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar
There are lots of growing gulf fritillary caterpillars busily munching away on the leaves.
Every few days I've seen female gulf fritillary butterflies laying eggs on these leaves.
Grow caterpillars grow!
This last photo has had the zeke filter applied.
Have a Blessed Day!

I love this opening line @violetmed:
There is a good purpose that we do not always see at first glance. Here the destruction of the plant looks like a problem, but in fact the gardener's purpose for this plant is to give life to another.
May your garden always be fruitful and blessed.

The vine almost lost all the leaves..look like caterpillars want to consumed every single leaf from those vine plant, the truth is that every creation striving to survive... Those caterpillar will turn to something fine when they grow..

I had never heard of that butterfly until you mentioned it here in your blog and I had to research it. You're so lucky to have them.

Oh, @violetmed, how they have your garden!! I've never seen what caterpillars do to plants, I never thought they ate so much. The good news is that soon you will have your garden full of beautiful and colorful butterflies. All because of that. Thank you for sharing that valuable footage.

Excellent photos, @violetmed. I must admit that if those caterpillars were to come out in my garden, I would be completely scared, at least I already know a little about them.

Don't be afraid! They become beautiful butterflies that can pollinate crops right along with bees!

Law of nature: although they are damaging and eating the leaves, it is to be able to feed and grow, to become beautiful butterflies. Incredible images you share! I congratulate and applaud you.

Keep up your faith to go high and fly, even after so many pains and sorrow. You can turn from a caterpillar to a butterfly. Life gives you a second change: a call to grow.

Those little fellows are eating machines! I still remember when i had silkworms when i was younger, i had to go grab leaves every 3 days, sneaky little eating machines... i only stopped feeding them when they "broke free" from their cage and started eating my mother's curtains xD
