Eastern Comma (Polygonia comma)

Member of Family: Nymphalidae 

French common name: Polygone virgule

This common Anglewing appears in both pale/winter and dark/summer forms, but there is a great deal of variability within these two forms.  This can complicate identification and make it tricky to separate it from related species ( Gray and Green Commas ).
