Monarch Butterfly caterpillars on my balcony

 Hey all,

Over this summer, I've been raising narrowleaf milkweed plants on my balcony, in the hope of attracting Monarch Butterflies, specifically to lay their eggs in the milkweeds and make new butterflies. Well, that proved to be remarkably successful, as my first round of caterpillars produced upwards of ten of the little buggers, perhaps as high as fifteen.

These pictures are from the latest round, which has to date produced at least five specimens. These are a few of them.
