Common Name
Bright orange and black butterfly with white highlights and a greenish body. It was about the size of a Monarch, although slightly smaller.
A very warm week of the late summer after several days of rain.
We set some rotting pears outside to attract butterflies. Flies seemed to get the most out of them, but a few butterflies came by including this one.
As far as I can say - I only know a bit of European and Asian Species- look like a Polygonia Sp. I know that there are American Polygonias, but I cant go further. I take the risk : Satyr Comma (Polygonia satyrus)
Cheers!
