Caterpillar settles in for transformation

Frit face

This morning I happened to spot a Gulf Fritillary caterpillar beginning its J-turn to become a chrysalis. I hope it survives to become a butterfly.

This caterpillar decided to stay on fence with the passion vine it had been eating.

I went inside to give the dog a bath and came back to find this. Wow, that happened quicker than I expected.

Here's another caterpillar still eating.
