I was just chasing more Monarch cats off the cheesecloth and showing them to Mom. I was pointing out a couple of the bigger ones when I noticed the one I had picked up looked a little different. And that's because it's a Queen! Two of my cats were on the plant when I bought it but they were so small I assumed they were Monarchs. Now I know at least one is a Queen. I took a picture so you can see the extra pair of appendages in the middle. By the way, Dad really gets a kick of how the front tentacles on the Monarch cats wiggle when they eat.
