The photograph shows a fifth instar larva of the comma butterfly ( Polygonia c‐album ) on a leaf of nettle ( Urtica dioica ), one of several hosts of this polyphagous species. Neonate comma larvae show a surprising ability to reject unfavourable hosts in search for better suitable ones, a behaviour that may ameliorate a bad oviposition choice (see pages 499–506).
