The Passion butterfly also known as the Gulf Fritillary is a bright orange in the subfamily Heliconiinae of the family Mymphalidae. They are known as longing butterflies and most are found in the southern areas of the United States, Texas to Florida...Predators learn to avoid this beautiful specimen as they release odorous chemicals in response at predator sightings. Pheremones play a very critical role in the male-female courtship behavior. The males in this case release the pheromones which attract the females.
