Green Comma
Polygonia faunus

Observation date: July 04, 2017
Submitted by: Stéphan Ruest
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Specimen resting on road, with clearly visible damage to wings. Level of activity rather low, no clear evidence of drinking from ground.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: April 07, 2022
Coordinator notes: Worn specimen and lack of ventral views makes the ID difficult. P. progne would not have the third more distal spot/blotch on the hindwing of this individual. Overall appearance this time of year favors P. faunus over P. comma.
