I guess it could be but I think this butterfly is bigger than the Gray Comma. All of Commas do look similiar. The Question Mark is a Comma too. I need to see a range map to see if the Gray Comma is in my area. I know this butterfly is different from the Eastern Comma as I have them also in the yard. I need a better butterfly field guide too.<BR/>If it is a Gray I would be extra pleased!<BR/>Thanks for looking butterfly up.<BR/>They can be tough to id.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-34873947543907074682007-06-05T22:35:00.000-05:002007-06-05T22:35:00.000-05:00Could this be a ~Gray Comma!~I am looking at my bo...Could this be a ~Gray Comma!~<BR/>I am looking at my book <BR/>~the field guide to butterflies~ hugs NGNaturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-35823527657099395532007-06-05T21:40:00.000-05:002007-06-05T21:40:00.000-05:00Dear Naturewoman,I love butterflies.

It is fun to learn their names too.<BR/>I saw the Question Mark last year and was so happy to see they have returned to the gardens. <BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-21308005159638414552007-06-05T21:39:00.000-05:002007-06-05T21:39:00.000-05:00Dear Sheila,I have seen the mounted butterflies be...Dear Sheila,<BR/>I have seen the mounted butterflies before. I like to think the butterflies were already "dead" when the monting happened.<BR/>I have a new reference book and all the photos are of mounted butterflies and moths. I think live photos are much better.<BR/>So many of the butterflies are extint as the rain forest is being destroyed and they have lost their habitat.<BR/>I love listening to you think out loud...<BR/>Makes me think too.<BR/>Thank you for thinking out loud with me!<BR/>xx<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-41137431944215281622007-06-05T15:25:00.000-05:002007-06-05T15:25:00.000-05:00What a beautiful butterfly!What a beautiful butterfly!NatureWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272529400065960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-41306251653915754302007-06-05T08:27:00.000-05:002007-06-05T08:27:00.000-05:00Lovely.

It was filled with butterflies, all held with pins, there was another filled with beetles. I always found it morbid, to see the beautiful creatures impaled in that way.<BR/>I wonder if they are still there, and if so if any of the species are now extinct. Just thinking out loud, please excuse me...!<BR/>xxSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.com
