GULF FRITILLARY CATERPILLAR HATCHING

• 

If your computer can handle it, switch the 360p to 1080p for higher quality.  This video is sped up 10x normal speed.  The egg is about the size of a grain of salt.  It was laid on Passion Flower, the host plant for Gulf Fritillary butterflies.  Most of the caterpillars in our yard hatch in 10-14 days, but Gulf Fritillaries hatch in just 3.
