Sorry David, you can ignore the zones but the butterflies tend to keep within their boundaries. Even I don't get Julias and I'm in Florida! Just too far north in Florida. BAMONA has reports of Gulf Fritillaries in MO, but not many. I think it would be a rare visitor for you. The Fritillaries in your area tend to eat Viola species so I'd plant some Violets if I were you. Or visit areas that have violets growing.
