Comma butterfly . . .


I particularly liked this Comma (Polygonia c-album) for its ragged wings, fur across its abdomen and drum-stick like antenna., so I photographed it. It is feeding on late blooming buddleia. And though common in Southern England's mature gardens and hedgerows, it is unusual for it to be seen in the month of October.  Of course the buddleia's nectar would be a great attraction.
