Eastern Comma Butterfly
I had to wait for a time to get this shot. All of a sudden the butterfly decided to crawl away from a rotting pear on the ground and warm itself on a leaf. I like seeing the white line around the edge of the parts of the insect. I have found that it is an Eastern Comma butterfly. It looks differently than the Question Mark butterfly that I found earlier. I guess they are from the same family but they do look differently.
A fly and a closed wing butterfly sit on the pear sucking the sugar from the pear. It would flip its wings open and shut while eating but I could never catch it open.
While crawling out into the sun it gave me a great moody shot.
