What's the first question, I hear you ask? An easy bit of geography ... 1. Where is the Claddagh?
It is very unusual that on the 6th of April I would identify two butterflies, which, although not rare, I had never identified before. Neither butterfly is supposed to be here until May.
This one is the Question Mark. Very exciting for me to see.
It is named after the white question mark on the underside of its wing... you can see part of the mark in the image.
The larvae feed on Hop, Elm, and Nettles. I have plenty of all these things around here, but still, I have never seen one of these before!
It was sunning on the bark of an old maple at the top of the hill.
I chased this beauty all over the yard before he let me get close enough to get some nice closeups of the closed and open wings, I think these butterflies are so interesting because of the wing shape and the markings. I like the little golden curled up probiscus in the closed wing shot!

Or some such nonsense. More like, me at Gallifrey One costuming as season-26 seventh Doctor. Note the dearth of ribbons; I'll do better next year.

The temperatures are expected to reach into the mid-90s today with dew points near 70. It is scorching outside - even insects are feeling the heat. This question mark butterfly was taking a break from the heat just outside our mailbox.

Better, sharper pic than the one i posted before. (It's worth viewing large - the eggs look like tiny little watermelons.)
The question mark butterfly female often lays her eggs in a chain. The eggs in the middle of the chain are less likely to be eaten by predators. Here you can see a chain of six eggs, with one single egg just in front.
I had the amazing pleasure of watching a female lay this chain of eggs on the underside of this elm leaf.
The Eastern Comma can be differentiated from its closely related cousin the Questionmark (Polygonia interrogationis) by the silvery comma in the middle of the underside of the hind wing that lacks the dot of the Questionmark. It's also smaller in size, has a less strongly hooked forewing margin, shorter hind wing tails, and three in-line black spots on the forewing (as noted above), where as the Questionmark has four, with the forth spot usually being elongated.
