The Comma has jagged orange-brown upper wings with black and yellowish-brown markings. At rest the Comma resembles a withered leaf. Comma butterflies seek sanctuary on hedgerows located in sunny positions. Their name is derived from a little 'comma' mark on the underside of the wings. Its caterpillars feed on plants such as Common Nettle and Hop.
