Look close. Is this a Monarch caterpillar? I’ll give you some clues. It’s crawling up a Milkweed stalk.
The answer is at the bottom of the picture

Queen Caterpillar
Notice the extra set of antennae? A Monarch only has two, a Queen has three. We had two of these appear last year. Never saw the Chrysalis or the actual Butterfly unfortunately
