Yeah, that seems to be a Queen. Sneaky rascals, disguising themselves to resemble Monarchs to lay eggs. Oh, BTW, I went to a nursery last weekend that was having a half-price sale. I wanted to stock up on really inexpensive milkweed in case more Monarchs lay eggs here. While there I adopted a few cats I found on their pipevine plants (A. fimbriata). The nursery people were happy to let me have them. This one decided to pupate on newspaper that I put underneath the potted pipevine plant in a mesh hamper cage.
