The Comma Nymphalis c-album (Nymphalidae) |
 |
The sombre underwings are marked with a white comma.like shape. |
 |
It's one of the most distinctive European butterflies because of the colour and shape of it's wings. |
 |
It's ragged margins are easily recognizable even in silhouette. Here are a few of last summers sightings. |
 |
Flight period is from March -September, in two broods. |
 |
It is widespread and common, and I love to see it in my garden. |
 |
Last but not least a gate for Thereas meme Good Fences, with these lovely Trumpet flowers. |

Hello and thank you for sharing your wonderful close up photos of this beautiful butterfly! The colours are just gorgeous!
That is a lovely old gate to find and it looks like it might be hidden soon under the huge spread of the creeper and its blooms!
Enjoy your day!

What a pretty butterfly.
Loved that gate with the trumpet vine spilling over onto it.
Lucky you!! Hopefully we won't be too far behind you and I'll see my first butterfly of the year soon. I have managed to find some hibernating butterflies and some chrysalises, though!!
Beautiful views of butterflies on the plants. It looks pretty shrub on the fence. Regards.

It's just too early (and cold) for butterflies where I live but it's warming up soon when I hope to see the Comma and others.
TREASURES!

Beautiful butterfly and gate. You captured some great photos. Love the flowers trailing by the gate. So pretty and cottage charming. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend ahead. xo
Thanks a lot for sharing these beautiful pictures... :)
Beautiful photos....but I have to admit ..that last photo of the gate with the flowers is a favorite .....nice photography as always!!! :)
I love this flower, Buddliea, I think. I once brought a cutting back from Ireland but alas it didn't take.
This is one of my favorite butterflies, Sonjia. Great series. And your fence is fabulous. I envy your sunny climate. Everything looks so much better with sunshine. I wish you a sunny and great weekend. Greetings, Joke
Well it is a nice fence/wall..............
Beautiful photos. It's always so nice to capture a beautiful butterfly. Love the gate with the overflowing trumpet flowers.
Nymphalis c-album is a beautiful butterfly. It should be here in the spring. Waiting for that it would achieve describe the moths.
Beautiful Butterfly. It's interesting that the underside of it's wings look like a dried up leaf. Great camouflage & that's a beautiful fence & gate with the Trumpet Flowers over it.
Gorgeous captures of the butterflies!
We have several species of comma here in North America and they look quite similar to the one you portray.
Stunning images. Wonderful fence shot as well.
¡Preciosa colección de mariposas!. Un saludo desde Asturias (España).
