Eastern Comma, Polygonia comma
Note that the above could possibly be Question Marks, Polygonia interrogationis. The advice on differentiating the two is less helpful than it appears.

ZRM has some pics of more exotic butterflies from warmer places.
(Mouse over pics for captions, and open them in another window for larger versions. In fact, you might even be able to see the expressions on their faces.)
UPDATE: Just for the halibut, here's a couple more.

Amazing. My goodness!!!
I hope the Polygonia genus includes further punctuation marks.
I rate for the semicolon; S.C.

Ampersands would be nice.
I think more butterfly names should include interrobangs.
Heck, I find it to be a bit suspicious that thunder has not added one to his nym.
I saw a beautiful Buckeye when mowing the lawn. I need to shoo it away. And I think a Red Admiral also flitted by.
The expressions on their faces show theyre annoyed you're all up in their grills.
Especially gorgeous batch. The composition is pretty great in all these.
The third and fourth one are especially awesome.
thunder- have you ever seen one of these?
Guh...
these...
Not yet, Jennifer. It appears they like to hang out by hamburger trees?
Of course, I haven't seen a Buckeye butterfly yet, either. Good to know that Pinko land hasn't (yet) turned into a desert wasteland.

They are flying monsters of death

Nice work. I've tried but can't close enough to get them flutterbyes to pose for me.
I'm just going to sit here in awe of this stunning series of pics.
