Green Comma
Polygonia faunus

Observation date: January 09, 2015
Submitted by: RichHubie
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Winter sighting. Only had one change to get this poor picture. Was along Navarro River. Decided this was a Green Comma because of the broad dark border and yellowish dots on the HW.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ken Davenport
Verified date: July 17, 2016
Coordinator notes: This appears to be the EARLY date for this species in the state. The Emmels believe the faunus in that area may be a rusticus or a rusticus/fulvescens blend. I plan to publish the record in the Season Summary and I assume your name id Rich Hubie. Please contact me at kdavenport93306@yahoo.com to confirm.-Ken Davenport
