Monarch butterfly caterpillar

A rather late caterpillar. Let's hope it pupates and emerges in time to fly southward. It looks fairly big here, so I am guessing it probably pupated not long after Barry took this photo. It will take between 9-12 days to pupate, and then it will emerge as a beautiful butterfly. This is the generation, the last of the summer, that will head toward Mexico.
