Oh sure, you had to throw in the Question mark to further muck things up! :) It is vital for me (at this point in my self taught "what the heck is that"...
As stated earlier, I did get a good look at the underwing before going for the camera. I'm confident it was a comma, not a Question Mark. My recollection is...
Hi Rick I am not sure Bill saw that part. I believe you have ID'd the butterfly correctly as a Gray. You saw the underside, we didnt. But I am glad Bill...

Hi Bill Yours is a comma and yes those are the 'hooks' on the ends of the comma. Yes, the Question mark is named for that two part comma. Finally, outstanding...
Hi Rick This is the first I have heard of a forehead mark. I immediately flashed back to this may, after reading on wisconsinbutterflies.org, one of the ways...
... Forewing mark, not forehead mark. I read about this in the Kaufman guide, "Butterflies of North America". I can't reproduce their photo but can link to a...
... Thanks, 'chill. I'd never heard of one of those before. Just wish I could have gotten a shot of spread wings. Of course, when it did that, there was no...
... comma. ... the forewing, so it is an Eastern Comma, right? ... Maybe it a "Times" comma instead of an "Arial" comma. :-) Bill [Non-text portions of this...
