Comma Butterfly (+PiP)

Comma Butterfly (+PiP)
Taken in my garden. The PiP shows the underwings and the distinctive white "comma" marking which gives it it's name.

This is the first time I've seen a Comma in my garden, so I was very pleased to get this shot.

Best viewed large, if you have time!

The PiP is as beautiful as the main picture Keith. I love seeing the underwing, Lucky you, and you did well to get two such good shots! I have never seen one in my garden.

Hope you're enjoying a sunny Sunday and wish you a good new week.

They're fairly common in England................but this was the first one I've seen this year! I'll keep my eyes open for one with a question mark on it.

Thanks Tanja!

Great shot - I had yesterday also the luck to watch one. In german it's not just a question mark butterfly :-) , but called C-Butterfly.

Glad you like it Christian. Thanks very much.

Yes. In the UK the 'C" stands for comma. (Even though it doesn't always look like a comma}!
