Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I haven't seen one of these before, so I'm hesitant on this ID, but I'm looking at the wing's brown edges, more jagged edges, & sub-marginal yellow spots. I wasn't able to get a photo of the underside.

Coordinator notes: Kelly, this has been a bit of a puzzler. your dorsal HW has a dark border with light colored spots, but that pattern breaks down toward the anal angle. Green Comma usually has 3 black spots on the dorsal hindwing, while yours has only 2. Two black spots usually points to Hoary Comma, I have examined al of my faunus images and found the number of black spots on DHW to vary between 2 and 3, so Green Comma it is. I think Green Comma is new for the Park, so nice work!!
