Eastern Comma
Polygonia comma (Harris, 1842)
Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Nymphalinae
I photographed it on an old metal bread-baking pan. It walked around the top edge, while I tried to focus on its wee face. It was so quick, I had problems. It would turn to look left and right, like a little warrior.
