The caterpillar in post 1 is indeed a Monarch, as is the male mature butterfly in post 17. The caterpillars in post 18 are not. Monarchs tend to lay eggs on milkweed, as it makes the caterpillar toxic to most predators if eaten. I don't know what is eating the leaves on the vine. Maybe they are related to the swallowtail in post 7.
Beautiful gardens!
