That is a Monarch caterpiller.
Heres a pic from June where I tried to get a better shot. I have discovered caterpillers are not camera friendly (at least for the cam I am using). This is one of the pics I love because after I got it home, I discovered another critter in the pic that I did not see when taking it.
Near the bottom left corner you can see a very young caterpiller on one of the flower stems. I would guess that caterpillar is 3 days old or less.
