Family: Nymphalidae
Date: 6.25.15
Observation:
While I was working on filling in potholes in our driveway, I was joined by an Eastern Comma (or two). I must admit I was a little rusty on the difference between Commas and Question Marks. The photo showing the underwing (and the white comma) was very helpful!
A Fact from Dana:
The host plant for Eastern Comma caterpillars are usually members of the nettle or elm family.
A Fact from Alice:
The caterpillars are usually solitary and feed during the nighttime.
