| Question
Mark (Polygonia interrogationis). A silvery
question mark on the underside of its mottled hind wings gives
this member of the Anglewing group of the Brushfooted Butterflies
its name. The edges of its wings look ragged and often have
a purple hue. Able to lay its eggs in any number of trees, particularly
elms, the Question Mark is able to thrive in many places east
of the Rocky Mountains, from Canada to Mexico. The adults frequently
feed on fermented fruit, leading sometimes to the butterflies'
becoming intoxicated! |
