I was thrilled to capture this image of an Eastern Comma butterfly (Polygonia comma) during a recent visit to Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. When its wings are closed, this butterfly blends right in with the bark of the trees on which it frequently perches, so it was nice that it chose to perch on some green leaves.

Love the fancy-shape edges to the wings! 🙂
Nice shot Mike 🙂
Lovely colors and markings.
Very nice, Mike!
As you say, nice to catch one on something other than a tree trunk.
Very Nice Images Mike! Enjoyed seeing them!
Thanks, Reed.
