Question Mark Butterfly

Sorry I didn't have any info here earlier. I was uploading a few older photos I had taken several years ago. I usually upload them as private - then add comments, etc.. then make them public. This one evidently came in public?? These were taken with my old Olympus OM2 - and good old 35mm film - so sometimes a little grainy.

 

The name of the Butterfly really is a Question Mark or the specific classification is: Polygonia interrogationis Their name comes from a small marking on the underside of there wings that actually looks like a question mark. I have several pictures of Question Marks - because they have a habit of spreading their wings - like the one in the picture - and sunning themselves. It makes for a easy photo opportunity.
