Elusive butterflies: comma on buddleia

Elusive butterflies: comma on buddleia

Unmistakable with the ragged outline of its wings, which were held at the right angle to show the supposed comma on the underside, a comma butterfly feeds on the highest flower of a buddleia.

I think this is the only species where I saw at least one in this years first, spring, generation as well as this one in the summer. Both times, it was literally one individual, well down on the usual numbers.
