Danaus plexippus
White, black, and yellow stripes. Caterpillar as two pairs of black...filaments at each end of its body. They're used for sensory perception, not stinging.
Milkweed
The third picture shows the caterpillar before it makes its chrysalis, and the fourth picture shows the finished chrysalis. It is green with concentric circles on the top cap, and has gold specks around it.
