Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars have a black and red form. They are gregarious and feed together until the last molt. Here are three at the end of the stem of the Wooly Pipevine, A. Tomentosa.

Very interesting! I've planted a couple of pipevines in my yard in the hope of attracting more of these beauties!
