[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Comma (Polygonia c-album) is a species of butterfly, common across Europe and temperate Asia to Japan and south to Morocco. Similar species are found in the United States and Canada. It has a white marking on its underwings resembling a comma. The wings have a distinctive ragged edge, apparently a cryptic form as the butterfly resembles a fallen leaf. The caterpillars are also cryptic, resembling a bird dropping.

Hi Rimantas,
Yes, they do have a ragged edge to the wings, but I think this one has had a little extra wear and tear since it was newly emerged! Nice portrait with natural colours, if faded a bit in respect of this aged Comma. Thanks.
Alan
