Comma Polygonia c-album (Linnaeus, 1758)  |
| Status
.....Now once again a common
butterfly across most of Nottinghamshire, following a
huge resurgence since the 1960's. The Comma is generally
found in more wooded habitats and along stretches of
mature hedgerows etc. But it is by no means restricted to
these, as it is also very much at home in our suburban
parks and gardens, despite the greatest number of records
coming from the more forested areas lying on Sherwood
Sandstone. This is another butterfly which suffered a run of poor years
between 2006 and 2008. But it's recovery has seen numbers increase to
more than four times what they were in 2007, despite not doing as well
in 2012 and 2016. |
