The Living Forest (92) : Comma Butterfly

Description

It’s early autumn, but the fascinating Comma can still be seen on a fine sunny day.
Its wings have scalloped edges and the underside is strikingly similar in appearance to dead leaves which is an excellent camouflage at the time of hibernating.
