South Florida. Found these on my passion vines as well. I’m concerned they may be preying on my caterpillars. Picture: imgur.com/a/aZ3be0W

Probably some other lepidoptera. I find other species now and then in my sleeves. It's hard to make anything definitive from the photo, bringing the pupa indoors and seeing what emerges might answer your question. If you're losing larva, that's one thing, other than simply wanting to separate for health reasons, I never worry about wayward natives getting in the mix.

Thanks for the advice, some of the others I found away from the plant seemed to have emerging adults that died looked more like moths and after doing some more research it appears to be something similar to the uroridae family.
