Default Passion flower and Gulf Fritillary

I am in South Louisiana, in the area affected by both hurricanes. I have a
large passion flower vine. Usually, the butterflies settle here, lay eggs
and their caterpillars eat the vine down to a stubby mess. This year, I'm
afraid the storms have interfered with the normal migration of the
butterflies. They got blown off course.
Should I trim back the passion flower vine for the winter? Or just let take
it's own course?
