Monarch caterpillars again

Encountered some more Monarch caterpillars today, in the same spot as before. This was the only one that I got a good picture of. Both were smaller than the ones I saw before.

Nearby I saw this female Monarch flying around, investigating the milkweed. Could she have once been one of the caterpillars I saw before?
