My friend Lydia let me come over and take its picture.  We thought if we unzipped the netting, he or she would fly off.  Instead, the Gulf Fritillary moved toward the fresh air, inhaled, and waited.  Maybe tomorrow.

Now that Lydia knows the caterpillars eat maypops, she'll be planting plenty before next summer.

And I'll know just where to look!
