Fall Flowers and the Gulf Fritillary

We often see the Gulf Fritillary on flowers blooming in Joy's garden.



Also blooming along pasture edges and meadow areas is the purple false foxglove [Agalinis purpurea (L.) Pennell].




We believe this is a host plant for the Fritillary, we have seen caterpillars on the plant that resemble Fritillary caterpillars. 


The chrysalis case above was empty.
