EDITORS COMMENTS
Fluttering into August with a feast fit for a Comma! This vibrant photo captures the delightful sight of a Polygonia c-album adult, also known as the Comma butterfly, indulging in a delectable meal of Creeping Thistle flowers. Taken in the picturesque county of Powys, Wales, this snapshot showcases the beauty and diversity of European nature at its finest. Against a backdrop of blooming wildflowers, this charming insect flutters gracefully from one nectar-filled blossom to another. The intricate patterns on its wings resemble delicate punctuation marks - hence its name "Comma". With its dainty frame and striking orange hues, this British native is truly an enchanting creature to behold. As it delicately sips on the sweet nectar provided by Cirsium arvense (Creeping Thistle), our winged friend plays an important role in pollination while enjoying a well-deserved summer treat. It's fascinating how these tiny creatures contribute to maintaining the balance of our ecosystem! So next time you spot a comma-shaped butterfly fluttering near wild thistles or any flowering plants, take a moment to appreciate their vital role as they bring life and color to our surroundings. Let us cherish these small wonders that make our world more beautiful!
