Polygonia c-album L.

Field Notes
Description:
Its irregular wing edges are characteristic of the Polygonia genus, which is why they are commonly called anglewings. It is has a wingspan of about 45 mm . The underside of the wings of this butterfly are a dull brown colour, with a small white 'C' shaped marking resembling a comma (hence the common name). The wings have a distinctive ragged edge, apparently a cryptic form as the butterfly resembles a fallen leaf. These butterflies hibernate, so they could be seen all around the year, but the active flying period extends from April to November, depending on location
Habitat:
It is found in northern Africa and across Europe from Portugal through Asia as far as Japan.
