Comma butterfly resting on a rhubarb leaf
Macro image of an insect.
The Comma is a fascinating butterfly. The scalloped edges and cryptic colouring of the wings conceal hibernating adults amongst dead leaves, while the larvae, flecked with brown and white markings, bear close resemblance to bird droppings.\n\nThe species has a flexible life cycle, which allows it to capitalize on favourable weather conditions. However, the most remarkable feature of the Comma has been its severe decline in the twentieth century and subsequent comeback. It is now widespread in southern Britain and its range is expanding northwards

Polygonum c-album is a common resident in the Netherlands. In the 20th century, its area of distribution underwent waves of expansion and contraction. This expansion is continuing at present, and the species can now be found all over the country.\nHabitat: The Comma Butterfly especially occurs in open deciduous or mixed woodland. There, it is usually seen in the lighter parts, such as in woodland clearings or at the woodland edge, on damp, rough vegetation. It can be found in parks and gardens in woodland areas.\nFlying Season: Polygonia c-album flies in one or two generations, the first from the end of June until mid-August.\nThe species hibernates as an adult butterfly.\n\nThe Species is quite common (for decades) in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.
Close-up of a brown butterfly perched delicately on a green oak leaf, set against a blurred background of vibrant summer foliage. The sharp focus on the butterfly and leaf contrasts beautifully with the natural bokeh, highlighting the details of the butterfly’s textured wings and the serrated edges of the leaf. Ideal for themes of biodiversity, nature, and tranquility.
