Green Comma
Polygonia faunus

Observation date: August 13, 2020
Submitted by: Cactuswren1976
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Alighted on trunk of conifer.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: August 31, 2020
Coordinator notes: Rene, to me, the ventral markings are a best match for Green Comma. I think I can even see some green on this one, and that is rare in NM. Green Comma should be the first one you check at this high elevation, although Hoary is not impossible.
