Found caterpillars on several milkweed plants in our field.

Editor's Note: The best clue that these are milkweed tussock moths is the large number larvae together on the leaf. Monarchs lay their eggs singly so it's rare to see more than one at a time. The milkweed tussock moth lays a group of eggs and all hatch together.
