Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar

Was out in the yard looking at the milkweed and seeing how my cucumbers were fairing when I came across this little guy.

Then I found this bigger one on the ground. So in the interest of science and my own need to know I brought it up on the deck so i could take photos and look it up.

There was another one, so I guess this year its the year of Tussock Moths and not Monarchs, which is too bad. Hope I get a photo of one when it grows up.

    I'll have to start looking for tussock moth caterpillars along with monarch cats next year. Thanks for introducing me to them.
