Cupha is a butterfly genus of the family Nymphalidae found in the Indomalayan and the Australasian realms. The wings of the adult butterflies are orange with a wide brown area by the body and a wide darker brown area along the margins, and with some pale spots by the tip each forewing. The wing undersides have a similar paler pattern, and additionally each wing has a subterminal arc of circled dark spots. The last spot at the tornus of each forewing is larger than the rest.
The pupa is greenish mottled with silver, and has a number of curly spines. It hangs obliquely from a silk cremaster head downward on the foodplant. 6448

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) is a bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Heliconiinae. That subfamily was formerly set apart as a separate family, the Heliconiidae. The Heliconiinae are "longwing butterflies", and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies. It is not closely related to the true fritillaries, however. It is the only member of genus Agraulis.
The Gulf fritillary is a medium to large butterfly, with a wingspan of 6–9.5 cm (2.4–3.7 in). Its underwings are buff, with large silvery spots. It takes its common name from its migration over the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf fritillary is commonly seen in parks and gardens, as well as in open country. Its range extends from Argentina north through Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean to the southern United States, as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area on the west coast. It is occasionally farther north. – Wikipedia
