| Comma Butterfly |
This butterfly was sipping salts from the sand that washed out of the stream bed. I made several shots of it and moved on.

| Comma Butterfly |
It was one I did not have in my collection of butterfly images. I have several of the Question Mark but this is my first of the Comma. They have similar appearance. The defining mark is on the underside of the hind wing. As I am sure you know, the mark resembles a comma. As you can see the shape of the wings is irregular like a polygon. I suppose that was the inspiration for naming it polygonia c-album.
It followed me down the trail and I suddenly saw it on my jeans sipping sweat salts. It then moved to the boots of my friend, sipping more salts.
