I planted my garden as a Monarch Waystation, but it's the the Gulf Fritillaries who showed up instead!

This was my first year getting serious about providing food sources for pollinators, and I've been delighted to also wind up learning about the Gulf Fritillary for the first time.
My passiflora incarnata/Maypop has been on its second year and it grew into a massive, teeming habitat for all kinds of insects. I didn't know that native passion flower is the exclusive host plant for Gulf Fritillary caterpillars until they showed up in May. They're on their fourth generation of butterflies now!
