There were at least 3 more on my milkweed plants in my garden that were gone before they got big. So I decided to take this one in and raise it until it becomes a butterfly. Name is Munchy BTW.

Awwwww cute lil' fella.
Awesome! I planted some milkweed this year, and am hoping it survives well enough to host some caterpillars in the future
I've had milkweed in my garden for years, but this is the first year I've seen caterpillars on it.
