Earlier, on this blog, I posted this photo and identified it as a grey comma.
I had sent it to the web site BUTTERFLIES and MOTHS of NORTH AMERICA for identification last September.
Well, today, I got an e mail from them identifying my butterfly.

It's not a grey comma, but a Question Mark. (Who gave butterflies their common names anyway?)
I was close, still in the punctuation family.
www.butterfliesandmoths.org a nice website for identifications.
