Comma DSC_0802
Comma / polygonia c-album. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 19/07/15.
First generation Comma butterflies have only been on the wing during the last five days in my local patch. This ones wings are worn in places already.
Having watched them swooping powerfully around Hawthorns, I'm not surprised! They are very territorial and fly out to do battle with anything that encroaches. Inquisitive, pugnacious fighters.
