Never have seen this one. Has raggedy edge wings that I think are camo-looks like a leaf. It was hard to get a pic of the topside of the wings as it would open and close them very quickly. It also was quite active anyway (90º again today). The eyes are way cool.





So I know there are a couple of entomologists here!

Question Mark.

See the little white curve and dot on the underwing.

It's in a family of butterflies called anglewings.

Your top pic is an excellent shot of that underwing, btw.

Eastern Comma Butterfly.

curve, no dot-->Comma

curve, plus dot-->Question Mark

Cool! I was going to guess Nymphalid, and I didn't even know anything about the question mark / comma thing. [www.insects.org]

Freya says, 'Hello from NOLA, baby!' (Laissez bon temps rouler!)

His name is Ralph and he abandoned his children while fluttering around.

I heard he sat down with little miss muffet and became lunch

Thanx for that info. Never heard of a "Ralph" and am glad our garden is attracting new (to me) bugs.
