Coordinator notes: I can't access your actual locality by putting my mouse over it. In any case very few watchers or collectors will encounter a Green Comma. They are long lived, they can live nearly up to a full year and they are rarely seen. I solved their rarity and found localities where they occur in the Sierra Nevada (subspecies rusticus). Yours is subspecies fulvescens described from the Santa Cruz Mountains. So prize those photos and records! You also have Polygonia oreas in those mountains and I found my first oreas in the Santa Cruz Mts. in 1990.-Ken Davenport
