One of the "anglewing" butterflies, listed as such for obvious reasons. The irregular wing margins obviously help them camouflage against tree bark when they overwinter as adult butterflies; they thus join the Mourning Cloaks as the first butterflies to appear as the snow melts.
This one is a "Comma" - as evidenced by the mark on the underside of the wing.
Photographed in the woods at Goose Lake in early September. The picture enlarges with a click.
