A picture of a Florida native maypop passion vine with a bloom and fruit, not very tasty fruit, good for birds The heads of Oleander Caterpillar left behind on the leaves of a Florida native passion vine after a paper wasp killed them and took their bodies away A paper wasp killing an Oleander Caterpillar on a leaf of a Florida native passion vine, very appreciated as the caterpillars were beginning to really obliterate the vine
