description Eastern Comma Overview
The eastern comma, Polygonia comma, is a brush-footed butterfly found in eastern North America. Adults have orange and dark brown upper wings with deeply irregular margins, while the mottled brown undersides resemble dead leaves; a small silvery comma-shaped mark on the hindwing gives the species its common name. Its caterpillars feed on plants including American elm, hops, nettles, and false nettle. Adults overwinter and may be seen during warm winter periods, making the species identifiable across more than one season.
