Here are pics of the metamorphosis of the Monarch butterfly that I found on my Milkweed plant. 
Young caterpillars
Later instar caterpillar
After molting (the feet in the first pic are not completely “evolved” as they are in the second pic)

Fifth instar caterpillar ready to become a chrysalis
Newly formed chrysalis, then older as it dries out

Mid-stage and late stage chrysalis as it becomes clearer
Newly emerged adult
This pic shows all three stages - caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult
Two days after the butterfly flew away, one (same one?) came back and visited the Milkweeds. There were already 5 caterpillars in the later instar stages on the plants, but unfortunately the birds must have found them as they are no longer there. 
So much for aposematic warning coloration.
Hopefully, the visiting Monarchs will lay more eggs….
