Yep, looks like Monarch. Thanks!
Cute caterpillar butt!
Hi Mirella, do you have any more views of this caterpillar? It is very useful to have multiple angles of organisms for identification since many of them have distinct features that might be missed if you only have one shot.
With that said, this looks like either a Monarch or Queen (Genus Danaus) caterpillar.
