Monarch caterpillar.

Hello friends steemit, I want to share with you this afternoon I was passing through the garden of my home and looking to the side I realized that there was a caterpillar monarch, to notice them and get closer I see that it was not one if not several caterpillars housed there, feeding on the leaves of the plants.
As you can see in the image I've taken.

When I saw them up close I was filled with intrigue and curiosity, given by their two pairs of antennas at each end and their colors.
