SATRY COMMA
Polygonia satyrus

Butterfly Spotting: The upper side of this butterfly is mainly a yellow-orange color. Two black spots are located near the bottom edge of the forewing and a black center spot decorates the hindwing. The underside is a mixture of light and dark golden browns. A silver comma-like marking can been seen in the center of the hindwing.

Backyard Tip: Like the question mark, the satyr comma butterfly enjoys rotting fruit. The nectar from blackberry and almond flowers is also a favorite menu item.
