Satyr Comma

Polygonia satyrus

The Satyr Comma is a beautiful butterfly with orange and brown wings. It has a unique comma-shaped mark on its wings, which helps it blend in with the leaves when resting.

Lebensraum: Forests

Aussehen

The Satyr Comma has ragged, angular wings that give it a distinctive outline. Its uppersides are tawny orange with dark spots, while the undersides are mottled brown, expertly mimicking a dead leaf. A small, silvery-white 'comma' mark adorns each hindwing.
