Possibly a Question Mark, Polygonia interrogationis

You know, I think it's a Eastern Comma. So much punctuation, think of the possibilities!

But some of the Eastern Commas have spots on their lower wings and on others the lower wings looked smudged with charcoal.

Never mind, you're right. As usual.

Ugh, maybe. You have to see the outer wings to see how they're punctuated. Such tricky grammar.

Good thing they're in English, anyway.
