Correction-Satyr not Eastern Comma Butterfly



3-23-08 CORRECTION--This is a Satyr Comma not an Eastern Comma butterfly (my butterfly identification skills are pretty basic).
In each of these pics the butterfly seems to hold it's head up at an angle--I don't know why it would. However, this position reveals it's striped jaw-area (not called a jaw on butterflies). The middle pic shows well a "comma" for which this species is named. It also shows how this butterfly blends into the leaf litter when it's wings are closed. SeEtta
