Green Comma
Polygonia faunus

Observation date: June 03, 2023
Submitted by: cklindsey
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Green comma seems like the best match even though the third black spot is missing on the DHW.
Status: Resident
Verified by: Ken Davenport

Coordinator notes: Always remember field marks are indicators but variable as it seems you are aware of. I love Green Commas where I have a lot of experience with them in the California Sierra Nevada and to a much lesser degree in the Rocky Mountains. They can live for almost a year!---Ken Davenport
