Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Comma (butterfly)
The Comma (Polygonia c-album) is a species of butterfly, common in the United Kingdom and with a distribution across Europe and temperate Asia to Japan and south to Morocco. Similar species are found in the United States and Canada. It has a white marking on its underwings resembling a comma. The wings have a distinctive ragged edge, apparently a cryptic  form as the butterfly resembles a fallen leaf. The caterpillars are also cryptic, resembling a bird dropping.
