Question Mark Butterfly

Polygonia interrogationis
I have seen a few of these this year.  There are two similar appearing butterflies.  This one and the Coma.  I need to view the underside of the rear wing to distinguish them.

They live in wooded areas.

Underside of Rear Wing
This one was feeding on fecal matter atop the warm "pea" gravel.

Question Mark Butterfly
The water level in "My" vernal pool was receding rapidly.  Algae was caught on the cattail leaf.  It was still wet and the butterfly found it a good place to feed.
