Hello, I can't tell but here is a picture of ladybug larvae.
That looks like a larvae for a Monarch butterfly. The colors look right for a Monarch. Best wishes.
That is a Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar.... https://bugguide.net/node/view/784809/bgpage
not either one from the pictures i saw.
It's a tussock moth caterpillar: https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2015/11/17/milkweed-tussock-moth-caterpillar-5/
this does not look like any monarch or tussock moth larva I've ever seen, and my yard is a butterfly haven. I did look up pics of lady bug larva, and really, it's closest to that than anything else
Have to agree with No_30856425 What you have there is the caterpillar form for the Milkweed Tussock Moth .
Butterflies have a Caterpillar stage.
Beetles have a larvae stage.
this pic is not a Monarch Caterpillar.
I agree with the moth identification after
seeing the pic.
Euchaetes egle. It is a milkweed Tiger Moth. Sometimes called the Harlequin caterpillar.
Tussoc Moth. Normally eggs are later in clusters. You may find more.
This is the caterpillar for the Monarch Butterfly. It will make chrysalis and come out as a beautiful butterfly.
