Green Comma
Polygonia faunus

Observation date: August 26, 2014
Submitted by: Sue Orlowski
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: 20 bright, new green commas on the tar sunning themselves. They had their wings closed and just very quickly opened and closed them as if they were drying off or something. All summer I just saw one dull green comma there but today I hit the jackpot.
