ok, i'm both impressed and relieved/pleased that you found one of these... when i was a kid in this area, monarchs were EVERYWHERE, as were the splendied yellow/white/black young, and ... of course, tons of milkweeds.
these years, and at least the last 10, i've seen plenty of milkweed - in fact, have been "eyeballing" it for harvesting for fiber soon, but not a single caterpillar. anywhere. waaah. they're so cute :)
i used to go out of my way to raise tomato larvae and swallow tail too. so nifty. haven't seen much of those either.
