Observation notes: Got great shot of this Green comma because it was cool, partly sunny, it was trying to keep warm on a sandy road on a trail called "Steam boat" on Oak Point Road. about 5 miles north west of our house. I'm seeing an unusual amount "abundance" of green commas Usually lucky to see one here or there. This spring even saw 9 in one site. seeing them daily for about 10 days now. population dwindling now.
