Great catch! Thank you, Brian38! I updated the species for this spotting.
Michael that looks like a Question Mark to me. I see four dark spots in a row on the top of the forewing (Eastern comma has only three). Check out this site for comparisons:https://www.naba.org/chapters/nabambc/frames-2species.asp?sp1=Polygonia-interrogationis&sp2=Polygonia-comma
