We have a punctuation problem. This looks like a Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) and not a Comma butterfly.

Hi:
love your photo and read up a bit about the butterfly thanks to the photo id… the name is intriguing.

Hi Thomas! They look similar, but the other side of the butterfly, which you can’t see in this photo resembled more the comma than the question mark. If you like, I can e-mail it to you. Thanks! : )
