Hi – GREAT website – I’ve used it many times in identifying all the little guys I come across inmy yard. Please help me identify this butterfly (from southern NY) Thanks!

Hi Denise,
This is one of the Anglewing Butterflies that are named after punctuation marks. We believe it is a Questionmark. It earned its common name due to the silver mark on the underside of the hind wing which resembles the punctuation mark denoting interogation.
