beautiful but stinky at line creek

i discovered this pretty gulf fritillary at the line creek wetlands area.
i can't recall what the flowers are, but they come back every year.
i have never seen a tattered or torn gulf fritillary.
they protect themselves by releasing stinky chemicals
to ward off their enemies.
they live from 14 to 27 days.
their host plant is the passion vine.
