The Question Mark is a North American nymphalid butterfly. It ranges from southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except the Florida peninsular, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and south to southern Arizona and Mexico. They typically live in wooded areas, or generally any area that features a combination of trees and open spaces.
The adult butterfly has a wing span of 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm). Its flight season is from May - September. A silver - white mark on the underside of the hindwing is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a question (?) shaped mark that gives this species its common name.
This cryptic colored and uniquely shaped creature is one of the few butterflies that overwinter as adults. Hiding in cracks and crevices of wood, they remain inactive through the cold months. Their colors help keep them hidden and safe. This is also a butterfly that doesn’t prefer nectar, but will drink it occasionally. It's preferred food is tree sap, overripe fruit, and animal scat. The scat supplies proteins that the butterfly doesn't get from nectar. This butterfly can tolerate cooler temperatures than most other butterflies can't and as a result is usually one of the first to appear in the spring.

The underside view showing the reason for its name, I guess it looks somewhat like a question mark..? See the fully open upperside view bellow..
I bought a cool drawing programme for my iPod Touch. I did this sketch on my iPod. Not Davinci, but impressive tool, I must admit.
This isn't a favorite shot of mine, but I do like how bright and clean his wing outlines are against the foliage and flowers.

This is a typical Question Mark butterfly in late summer. The hind wings are very dark on the top surface, with ragged margins and a light lavender/gray fringe. The outer/under wing surfaces look like a "dead leaf" and has a "signature" that looks like a "C" or a small question mark. Seen on Spotted Knapweed, a non-native wildflower at Pointe Mouilee.
Named for the markings on it lower wing that resemble a question mark, its got a cousin name a Comma that has a similar mark that is undivided.

These guys always find me with a long lens on the camera. Sorry for the fuzzy handhelds, but it looked like the hindwings had not entirely inflated yet. Any other ideas of what is up with this one?
This is a black form Question Mark mineraling on Pleasant Plains Rd., Great Swamp NWR, NJ.
What do you guys think I should try to build?
1. Panzer I Ausf.(A,B,or C)
2. Panzer II Ausf. C
3. Opel Blitz truck
Please let me know what I should do!
Thanks

The question mark is clearly visible on the underside of the hindwing and a black dash on the upper forewing that separates it from the comma butterfly.
