description Question Mark Overview
The Question Mark, scientifically known as Polygonia interrogationis, is a species of brush-footed butterfly found throughout eastern North America. It belongs to the anglewing family, recognized by its deeply irregular wing edges and bright orange uppersides marked with black spots. The insect derives its common name from the distinctive silver, curved marking on the mottled dark underside of its hindwings, which helps distinguish it from similar species like the Eastern Comma. Adults feed on tree sap, rotting fruit, and animal dung, while their larvae primarily consume leaves of hackberry and elm trees.
