Butterflies and caterpillars

  

Remember the blue mist bush, covered with butterflies?

 

The butterflies are gone, and now there are big woolly caterpillars.

 

The butterflies that were on the bush look a lot like monarchs, but they're a little smaller; a little different.  They're Queen butterflies.  So when the caterpillars appeared I figured; Cool; Queen butterfly caterpillars.  I googled Queen butterfly caterpillars and got this.

 

Well, that's not it.

 

Maybe they're monarchs then.  That's the only other butterfly we've seen around lately.  Google says:

 

That's not it either.

 

What kind of butterfly does our caterpillar turn in to?

 

Google says that most furry caterpillars turn into moths, not butterflies.  We never thought to check these flowers at night, so we have no idea what kinds of moths have been here.
