![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 845 W: 165 N: 2096]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (5468) | One week ago I post a photo of comma butterfly chrysalis. After 7 days I can present you the adult butterfly. I wanted to show you the moment of emergence. Unfortunately when I came buck from work on friday the butterfly was already sitting on the branch close to the chrysalis exuviae. He flew away on sunday :-) So maybe it is not to late for the third generation of Polygonia c-album in Central Europe.
