Climbing Dogbane (Thyrsanthella difformis) I'm kind of ashamed to say it, but I didn't even notice this inconspicuous vine that the showy Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) was nectaring on! I will have to go back for better photos soon! Growing at the edge of a pond in a wetland habitat in Floyd County, GA.
