Eastern Comma butterfly

Yesterday, near the Octoraro Creek I found my first Eastern Comma this year. It was a hot day and the butterfly was seen at mid-day. The day started off quite hot and rose to the mid nineties in late afternoon with high humidity. The Octoraro separates Lancaster County to the west and Chester County to the east. The Octoraro is a little over twenty miles in length and drains just over 200 Sq.Mi. The Eastern comma takes its' name from the silvered 'Comma' on the rear underwing. Here is a picture of today's Comma and one from the past. It seems that I forgot to post the similar looking Question Mark and will do so on the next post. Have a great day, Denis
