Absolutely gorgeous shot of the Monarch, Greenthumb!

What timing! I was looking at my neighbors' milkweed today and took this photo of what I think are Tussock Moth caterpillars. Fortunately, they have lots of Milkweed to eat and aren't likely to reach my yard. I haven't seen anything at all on my Swamp Milkweed yet except flowers and now, lots of seed pods.
Coleup, I think my neighbors' Milkweed might be slightly diseased. It doesn't seem to bother the big plants, though - this is their patch.
