17 Mar 2009Nice. I saw a few butterflies Sunday and even more yesterday mostly commas, with a red admiral and some brimstones. I think its time for the annual orange tip and brimstone chase….

19 Mar 2009Wonderful photo, Words! :up: The Eastern Comma is alive and well here in Appalachia. Although, I think this is a Green Comma. I just really love the True Brushfoots. Thanks for the delightful picture. :up:

19 Mar 2009Cynthia, thanks! As far as I know it's just plain 'comma' here, but yes the body has a distinctive green to it.

19 Mar 2009Neil, it could turn out to be a really good spring. I've high hopes for this year. A real winter, a decent spring… and maybe a hot summer 🙂

19 Mar 2009Mark, we should soon be seeing loads of them especially if the weather stays good.

20 Mar 2009Thanks Anna. These ones are quite common here. I like the untidy wing shape they have.

22 Mar 2009We're doing quite well way down south 😉 Saw several whites today, plus (probably) tortoiseshells but they flew past too quickly and erratically for a proper i.d.

27 Mar 2009Mick, I'm not sure whether any other species has that shape, but yes it's quite distinctive.
