Comma butterfly

Posted Sun 24 September 2017 in garden

I was lucky to see a comma butterfly in the garden today. I know that they are quite widespread and fairly common, but I've only ever seen a few of them, so to me, it is quite special to see one, especially as it stayed so long.

It spent all its time on the Verbena bonariensis, sometimes flying away as if to see if there was anything better, but always coming back.
