This is a "Question Mark Butterfly" It may be my first
Polygonia interrogationis, the question mark, is a North American nymphalid butterfly. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space. The color and textured appearance of the underside of its wings combine to provide camouflage that resembles a dead leaf. The adult butterfly has a wingspan of 4.5–7.6 cm (1.8–3.0 in). Its flight period is from May to September. "The silver mark on the underside of the hindwing is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a ?-shaped mark that gives the species its common name.
A captive bred Question Mark butterfly pupa. The Question Mark is a nymphalid butterfly and is the largest of the Polygonia (Comma) species from North America. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space.

About ten days ago I posted a photo of a question mark caterpillar. This is the question mark butterfly, so called because of a tiny marking on the underside. The photo was taken at Butterfly Haven in Pingree, Idaho.
I don't often see this woodland butterfly in the garden with it's wings open. It was a real thrill to catch it.
Easy to identify this butterfly with that big white question mark on the side of the wing. Found it in my back yard.
