Question Mark Butterfly
Question Mark Butterflies are often times confused with the Comma Butterflies. To tell the difference between these two butterflies the underside of the wing must be visible. Adult Question Marks feed on fruit, sap, and mud, but rarely flowers. On the edge and underside of their wings these butterflies have a leaf-like color pattern that helps disguise these insects from predators.
