Urban Butterflies

The Comma butterfly is one of our winter hibernators and can usually be seen towards the end of March or early April as spring temperatures begin to rise but with this unseasonally warm weather it has encouraged a few to leave there dormant state a little early this year and I've been lucky enough to see Comma's over the last two weekends, with this stunning little beauty with its ragged wings photographed in a friends garden on Sunday afternoon.

The butterfly gets its name from the only small white marking on the underside of its wing, which resembles a comma!
