Field Notes

Description:

Unfortunately, I did not get a look at the underside of the wings as it flew away so not sure if I can get a definite ID on a comma with no underside view. The other option is the Green Comma?

Habitat:

Albion under the Trees is in the westcoast temperate rainforest of BC with lots of cedars, alders and cottonwoods in the bush. This comma was enjoying a stop in the sun on the bark of a cedar tree.
