Second brood larvae available again in July / August. Rich, orange coloured woodland, hillside and garden butterfly with immediately recognisable, jagged outline. The flight is swift and deft and the adult may sometimes be mistaken for a fritillary at first sight. Equally distinctive is the silver, comma like mark on the underside of the hindwing, from which this species takes its name. Larvae resemble a bird dropping and take Nettle and Elm. A beautiful sight in early spring the Comma has two generations and is fairly easy to breed from egg to adult on potted food.
