Unusual Comma

Post by sahikmet »

Picture taken 2 weeks ago in the garden. This comma appears to have a line running right through the right front wing. All pictures have same mark. Comments will be appreciated. Damaged wing? Sezar :?

Hi Sahikmet,

Possibly damage or possibly silk from a spider's web; I saw similar today on a Red Admiral nectaring on Hemp Agrimony that had spider's silk around one wing. Your picture suggests a slight glistening, which one might see from silk, where the line in question is.

I hope this helps?

Good hunting.

Kind regards. Mark
