Comma — size comparison — facts and sources

The comma butterfly lives around forests, gardens and scrub. Adults visit flowers and also feed on overripe fruit towards the end of the season. They can overwinter in shelter, so a butterfly seen in spring may have emerged in the previous year.

Caterpillars develop on nettles, elms and willows, among other host plants. When conditions are favourable, more than one generation can develop within a year.
