We are finding many questions today at ”We’re Here!”. Our host group for the day is question mark.
A 10mm caterpillar of Polygonia interrogationis, the Question Mark, a North American nymphalid butterfly. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space.
This is the largest of the Polygonia (Comma) species from North America, multi-brooded with the larvae feeding on Nettle, Hop and Elm. Adults hibernate.
Larvae of the Question Mark butterfly, like all lepdiopteran larvae, mature through a series of stages called instars. Near the end of each instar, the larva undergoes a process called apolysis, in which the cuticle, a tough outer layer made of a mixture of chitin and specialized proteins, is released from the softer epidermis beneath, and the epidermis begins to form a new cuticle beneath. At the end of each instar, the larva moults the old cuticle, and the new cuticle expands, before rapidly hardening and developing pigment. Development of butterfly wing patterns begins by the last larval instar.

The question mark butterfly caterpillars (Polygonia interrogationis) that I rescued from a volunteer elm sapling about to get obliterated are getting big!
There's always a question!

It was exciting to discover this October Question Mark Butterfly basking in the sunlight. First one in about three years.
This is the orange winter form of the species. The butterfly emerges from hibernation in early spring and may occasionally be spotted on a warm winter day. It is uncommon to see this butterfly species on flowers as pictured here on Japanese Andromeda (Pieris japonica).
In 2013 I took part in a Batman-themed photoshoot. Batman and all his friends and foes where there. I was asked to play The Penguin again (I had done it before in 2011). This photoshoot was organized and shot by my very good friend Ken Cranney, a.k.a. RikerVP. He's an excellent photographer.
