The Comma

Yesterday's warm, sunny afternoon brought out butterflies. I watched this Comma chase away a Holly Blue butterfly. He seemed very territorial about the flowering redcurrant leaf he kept returning to.


Commas get their names from a small, white, comma-shaped mark on the underside of each hind wing. Sometimes hard to see because they usually settle with their wings open, but I was lucky this time.
