Looks Like A Monarch…



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

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
