Polygonia faunus

Observation date: September 20, 2013
Submitted by: tamico
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Toward end of day same general area as other photo just sent
Status: Resident
Verified by: azukoff
Verified date: February 10, 2014
Coordinator notes: Due to the central black spot above on the hindwing along with the orange submarginal spotband, I believe this is a Green Comma. Difficult to see the green spotting in the photo of the underwings due to shadow, but these green spots can be absent in females.
