Aurelia Butterfly (Polygonia C-album)

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 18 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

In English called: Comma Butterfly because of the white comma-shaped spot on the downside of the wings. This is the one that continues to pop up in my backyard on every sunny day and simply begs to be photographed. Here it sits basking on the framework of the swings for my son and his friends.
