what kind of cat is this?

Cocoa, FL(Zone 9b)

Found eating my milkweed yesterday near a monarch cat...but he has red in his antennae, and an extra set??

It's a Queen caterpillar. They have three sets of tubercles and often have either red or yellow coloring on the base of them. We get them in abundance out here :o) They also feed on milkweeds...so hope you have plenty in your garden!!!
